The bus arrived nearly a week after the Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to pursue a lawsuit and criminal probe against Texas over itsCouncil members requested the city attorney’s office investigate whether Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has committed crimes through the program, and whether the lawsuit is justified.Abbott’s program had delivered a total of 435 migrants to LA since buses started arriving on June 14.
