Another bus carrying dozens of migrants from Texas arrived at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon, courtesy of the governor and taxpayers of the Lone Star State.
The 41 asylum seekers arrived about 12:40 p.m. and were received by the L.A. Welcomes Collective - a network of nonprofit, faith and immigrant rights groups, officials said in a statement. The migrants are from Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Belize and Nicaragua.
“With great love and dignity, we extend a warm welcome to our newly arrived brothers and sisters in Los Angeles,” said Martha Arevalo, executive director of American Resource Center-Los Angeles (CARECEN). “We stand ready to ensure they receive accurate legal information, that they know the next steps in their case, and that all their urgent legal needs are met.”
