Los Angeles nonprofits assist as Texas sends dozens of migrants to California by bus
CNNCNN — Texas Gov. “Texas’ small border towns remain overwhelmed and overrun by the thousands of people illegally crossing into Texas from Mexico because of President Biden’s refusal to secure the border,” Abbott said. “Our border communities are on the frontlines of President Biden’s border crisis, and Texas will continue providing this much-needed relief until he steps up to do his job and secure the border.” The city of Los Angeles learned of the group’s trip while the bus was en route, and nonprofit groups met them at the station, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said. “This did not catch us off guard, nor will it intimidate us.” The migrants arrived less than a week after the Los Angeles City Council voted June 9 to draft a “sanctuary city” policy, which could eventually become municipal law. The Haitian Bridge Alliance was one of the nonprofits present when the migrants arrived to Los Angeles, according to Daniel Tse, who serves as the group’s asylum taskforce coordinator.
