Migrants bussed from Texas to Los Angeles in move mayor calls 'despicable stunt'
Los Angeles County Public Health Emergency Operations officials leave St. Anthony's Croatian Catholic Church after evaluating the newly arrived migrants being housed in Los Angeles on Wednesday, June 14, 2023. Forty-two people, including some children, were dropped off at Union Station around 4 p.m. Wednesday and were being cared for at the church. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the migrants were sent to Los Angeles because California had declared itself a"sanctuary" for immigrants.
“They left yesterday and it was 23 hours on the bus and they did not have a chance to eat or to have water,” said Jorge Mario Cabrera of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, who spoke to several migrants. Many were from Latin American countries, including Honduras and Venezuela, and one person had an immigration appointment in New York, he said.
“This did not catch us off guard, nor will it intimidate us," Bass said in a statement. “Los Angeles is not a city motivated by hate or fear and we absolutely will not be swayed or moved by petty politicians playing with human lives."
