Three buses carrying migrants from Texas arrived in downtown Los Angeles Friday, marking the 17th, 18th and 19th such arrival since June.
"Governor Abbott continues to put vulnerable lives in jeopardy with limited food and water on multi-day bus journey's to Los Angeles," said Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in a statement.
According to the CHIRLA, which is a member of the L.A. Welcomes Collective, a network of nonprofit, faith groups and city and county services that respond to the arrival of migrant buses, a third of all migrants arriving in Los Angeles by bus have been children. "It is abhorrent and cruel of Gov. Abbott to send human beings who are tired, hungry and yearning for a safe haven on a 30-hour bus ride without regard for their care, journey or destination," CHIRLA wrote on X."It is clear he is trying to disrupt our efforts, but we will preserve."
The collective heard about Friday's buses somewhat late, yet the collective immediately took action as they conducted a"rapid response, met migrants at the bus station and brought them to the receiving site" at St. Anthony's Croatian Catholic Church in downtown Los Angeles. Cabrera said he hopes the buses will slow down and stop altogether because Gov. Abbott is using migrants as"political pawns" without regard to their health. But he knows that is less than likely as the political season takes shape.
"We need the president to start enforcing the immigration laws of the United States of America, period," he added.
