Greg Abbott dispatches another bus of migrants to LA.
Los Angeles Receives Fifth Bus of Migrants
Los Angeles welcomed its fifth bus of migrants from Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) on Saturday. This latest bus brought in 44 migrants from various countries, including Mexico, Colombia, China, Haiti, Honduras, Peru, and Venezuela. Among them were 14 children aged between two and 14 years old, as confirmed by a spokesperson from the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights.
Since June 14, Abbott’s office has sent over 160 migrants to Los Angeles. In total, more than 27,000 migrants have been sent to cities such as Denver, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and New York City. Abbott justified his actions by stating that Texas border towns are overwhelmed and overrun with migrants.
“Los Angeles is a major city that migrants seek to go to, particularly now that its city leaders approved its self-declared sanctuary city status,” Abbott said in a statement. “Our border communities are on the front lines of President Biden’s border crisis, and Texas will continue providing this much-needed relief until he steps up to do his job and secure the border.”
Mayor Karen Bass expressed that her office collaborated with city departments, the county, nonprofit organizations, and faith partners to address the influx of migrants. However, the actions taken by Abbott against migrants and refugees were strongly condemned by CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas.
“Actions ordered by Texas Gov. Abbott against migrants and refugees are outrageous, if not criminal,” Salas stated. “We condemn the dehumanization of migrants and refugees anywhere, and we remind Governor Abbott that every life is precious and protected under the United Nation’s Human Rights Charter.”
It is worth noting that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has also transported immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, in 2022 and to Sacramento, California, in June 2023. This has prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) to call for an investigation by the Justice Department into Abbott and DeSantis’s immigrant transport programs.
