Texas Governor Sends Migrants on Bus to Los Angeles in Latest Political Stunt

More than 21,600 migrants have been transported across the country from Texas, under a plan hastily instituted by Lone Star State Gov. Greg Abbott last year. On Wednesday, the first group of migrants bused from Texas to L.A. arrived, in a move that Abbott blamed on “overwhelmed” border towns that he said “are on the front lines of President Biden’s border crisis.” The Los Angeles City Council recently approved a motion, referred to by council members as a “sanctuary city” law, that would essentially codify existing policies around the use of city resources for federal immigration enforcement.
