A third bus carrying asylum-seeking migrants from Texas arrived in Los Angeles on Thursday.
The L.A. Welcomes Collective, a network of immigrant rights, immigration legal services providers, and faith organizations responded Thursday to the arrival of the asylum-seekers sent from Brownsville, Texas, offering them limited support services, including food, clothing, and legal immigration consultations upon arrival and facilitating family reunions with loved ones residing in the region.
According to Abbott's office, Texas has been charting buses to take migrants from Texas to locations including Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia, and most recently adding Denver to the list of destinations. Since beginning the busing effort last spring, more than 21,600 migrants have been shipped out of Texas to "these self-declared sanctuary cities," according to Abbott's office.
