LA Mayor Karen Bass confirms arrival of new immigrant bus.
Another Bus of Immigrants Arrives in Los Angeles
On Thursday, a bus filled with immigrants made its way to Los Angeles from Texas, marking yet another transportation of people to sanctuary jurisdictions in recent months.
The office of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass confirmed the arrival of the bus on Thursday afternoon, stating that they promptly activated their response upon learning about it the day before.
Working Together to Execute the Plan
“One bus from Texas arrived around 12:40 PM PT today at Union Station. The City has continued to work with City Departments, the County, and a coalition of nonprofit organizations, in addition to our faith partners, to execute a plan set in place earlier this year. As we have before, when we became aware of the bus yesterday, we activated our plan,”
– Zach Seidl, spokesperson for Bass
According to the Los Angeles Times, the bus carried 35 immigrants from Brownsville, Texas, and was part of the third bus sent by Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX).
Abbott has been sending buses of immigrants from southern border towns to various large cities, including New York City, Washington, D.C., and Chicago.
Meanwhile, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) transported immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, in 2022 and to Sacramento, California, in June 2023. Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has called for the Justice Department to investigate DeSantis’s immigrant transport program, which the Florida governor has defended as lawful.
The Washington Examiner has reached out to Abbott’s office for confirmation regarding the bus being part of his immigrant transport program.
