El Paso joins Gov. Greg Abbott in busing migrants to New York City

A charter bus that took a group of migrants from El Paso to New York City this week., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.

“It’s a journey that we never expected to experience,” Roxeli, a Venezuelan migrant, said aboard an El Paso United Charters bus heading to New York City on Tuesday. “It was a rough environment. We had to cross oceans, rivers, jungles — countries where perhaps we weren’t welcome.” City officials haven’t responded to questions about how many buses they’ve chartered or where the buses have gone.

On June 21, the Office of Emergency Management chartered a bus to send 50 migrants to Faith Forward, an alliance of Dallas religious leaders, Garcia said. Four of the five buses are presumed to have been part of Abbott’s controversial initiative to transport migrants to Washington, D.C., and New York using private donations.

Coronel said that her office hasn’t had any communication with anybody from El Paso — including city leaders, the Office of Emergency Management or any nonprofit involved in the transport of migrants to New York. Some migrants who can’t arrange transportation wind up unhoused in El Paso and other border cities because migrant shelters can’t provide shelter for more than a few days.

In the statement, D’Angostino called the increased number of migrants arriving at the border a “humanitarian concern.” The statement said the busing and transportation services for migrants are to keep them safe from the elements and a way to keep area homeless shelters from overflowing. The status, which allows migrants from designated countries to reside legally in the United States temporarily, applies only to those living in the United States as of March 2021. DHS estimates some 343,000 Venezuelans are eligible for the protective status originally approved in March 2021 by the Biden administration.

elpasomatters GREATEST MOVE EVER- keep the buses going

elpasomatters Its only fair they go to a sanctuary city. I think they should go to DC instead. Maybe Delaware

elpasomatters Send them to west Michigan, we need the workers.

elpasomatters Such a strange choice to me, if it were not merely political... as though New York City has never been required to absorb more than its share of immigrants.
