As a tropical storm bore down on Southern California, Texas sent migrants on a bus to Los Angeles

Gov. Greg Abbott speaks about the recent 88th Legislative Session to an audience at the Texas Public Policy Foundation offices in Austin, on June 2, 2023. Abbott recounted policy victories in regards to fentanyl and the border crisis, as well as limiting gender affirming care and banning DEI practices in higher education. Abbott ended the event by promising to call a special session for school choice, after the current special session for property tax resolves.

Texas sent three dozen migrants to Los Angeles as the city was struck by Hilary, the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years, which caused record rainfall and flooding in parts of the region.
