Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that some migrants in the state have been sent by bus to Los Angeles and arrived on Wednesday evening, marking the state’s latest push against federal border immigration policies that has been decried by critics as a stunt
When the group of 42 migrants arrived in Los Angeles after leaving the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas on Tuesday, several nonprofit organizations ensured volunteers were present. The migrants, whose bus trip was some 1,500 miles, included eight children as passengers, according to the nonprofit Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights. “All of these individuals have arrived to Los Angeles from Texas.
Gavin Newsom’s office, echoed that local officials and community partners are working to ensure the migrants’ safety. “Contrary to what some may want to think – California is also a border state but instead of demonizing asylum seekers, we focus on working with local communities to support and humanely welcome people,” Lopez said in a statement to CNN.
