Greg Abbott (R-Texas) announced on Wednesday that Texas has transported a group of illegal immigrants to Los Angeles for the first time, a move described as a \u201cdespicable stunt\u201d by L.A. Mayor Karen Bass.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cTexas just dropped off the 1st bus of migrants in Los Angeles,\u201d Abbott wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Around 40 illegal immigrants, including families with children, arrived in Los Angeles via bus on Wednesday afternoon around 4 p.m. They were provided care and support services at St. Anthony\u2019s Croatian Catholic Church near downtown, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fed-found-economy-is-recovering-much-faster-than-officials-expected\/\" title=\"Fed Found Economy Is Recovering Much Faster Than Officials Expected\">officials<\/a> and service providers.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Abbott repeated his justification for the relocation, saying that Texas border towns are overwhelmed as thousands of individuals cross the U.S.-Mexico border under President Joe Biden\u2019s immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLos Angeles is a major city that migrants seek to go to, particularly now that its city leaders approved its self<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/first-busload-of-illegal-immigrants-arrives-in-los-angeles-from-texas\/\" title=\"First group of undocumented immigrants arrives in LA from Texas by bus.\">-declared sanctuary city status<\/a>,\u201d Abbott said in a statement. \u201cOur border communities are on the frontlines of President Biden\u2019s border crisis, and Texas will continue providing this much-needed relief until he steps up to do his job and secure the border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under Abbott\u2019s direction, the Texas Division of Emergency Management has transported over 21,600 illegal immigrants from border towns to Democrat-led sanctuary cities, including Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and most recently, Denver, since April 2022. The leaders of these cities, which have been unprepared for the arrivals, have criticized the strategy as racist and a political stunt.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5334964\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/06\/15\/id5334964-Immigration_Transporting_Migrants_23166149115981-1200x800.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5334964\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\nLos Angeles County Public Health Emergency Operations officials leave St. Anthony\u2019s Croatian Catholic Church after evaluating newly arrived migrants being housed in the Chinatown area of Los Angeles on June 14, 2023.

They made a stop at Union Station before being taken to a welcoming center where they were provided by city agencies and nonprofits with food and other services, such as attorneys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey left yesterday and it was 23 hours on the bus,\u201d said Jorge Mario Cabrera, spokesperson for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, who claimed they didn\u2019t have a chance to eat or drink water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are being fed; they\u2019re taking shelters; they\u2019re talking to attorneys,\u201d he said. \u201cThese are migrants that have been allowed by the U.S. to enter because they have credible fears. They have not yet received asylum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Epoch Times has contacted Cabrera for further comment.<\/p>\n<p>Upon their arrival, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a statement emphasizing the human aspect of what is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nolte-nyt-says-unvaccinated-kids-must-eat-quickly-on-thanksgiving\/\" title=\"Nolte: NYT Says Unvaccinated Kids Must 'Eat Quickly' on Thanksgiving\">divisive political issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis evening, more than 40 people were sent by the Governor of Texas to our City of Los Angeles. Shortly after I took office, I directed City Departments to begin planning for an event like this. This did not catch us off guard. We are now executing our plan,\u201d she wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLos 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,\u201d she continued. \u201cFor everything that we do, we will continue to lock arms and we will continue to lead\u2014and we will always put people\u2019s health and wellbeing over politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comes a week after a separate group was flown from Texas to Sacramento by Florida, which drew criticism from Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.), who said it was inhumane. California Attorney General Rob Bonta characterized the actions as \u201cstate-sanctioned kidnapping\u201d and accused Florida of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/semi-truck-driver-of-deadliest-migrant-smuggling-event-in-u-s-history-found-high-on-meth-faces-death-penalty-authorities\/\" title=\"Semi-Truck Driver Of Deadliest Migrant Smuggling Event In U.S. History Found \u2018High On Meth,\u2019 Faces Death Penalty: Authorities\">exploiting vulnerable individuals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Conservatives Highlight Sanctuary Cities<\/h2>\n<p>Gov.
