The first bus of migrants to New York City arrived at Port Authority Bus Terminal on Friday morning. It’s unclear why Abbott chose New York City as neither the mayor nor the City Council set federal immigration policy, but he appeared to object to New York’s status as a sanctuary city in a statement Friday.

We need Washington, D.C.’s assistance in dealing with the cruel political games being played by inept politicians like the governor of Texas.”declined an invitation
