L.A. receives 20th bus of migrants courtesy of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott

The arrival of a bus carrying migrants from Texas at L.A.’s Union Station on July 14 prompted the City Council to investigate taking legal action against Texas and Gov. Greg Abbott.Los Angeles on Saturday received its 20th busload of migrants courtesy of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who takes responsibility for shipping more than 45,000 migrants to a half-dozen “sanctuary” cities across the country.

The latest arrivals, amid escalating political rhetoric about immigration, further incensed community groups Los Angeles has organized to help those on the buses.“It is disgraceful that they might ramp up the rhetoric against migrants ... to demonize them to gain political points,” said Guillermo Torres, who spearheads immigration issues for the Los Angeles-based Clergy & Laity United for Economic Justice.

Many more charters are likely. Purchase orders show the Texas bus company that holds the primary migrant charter contract, Wynne Transportation, was given an $84-million order in August from the Texas Division of Emergency Management.Abbott last week sought friendly platforms to cast immigration in terms of presidential politics, castigating President Biden while praising former President Trump in a speech to the conservative.
