Texas Governor Greg Abbott vowed to continue busing immigrants to Democratic-led cities in the northern part of the country during the Republican National Convention. "Those buses will continue to roll until we finally secure our border," he said at the event in Milwaukee in mid-July.

However, according to data obtained by NBC News, the amount of migrants reaching the state has decreased so much over the past months that no buses were sent during July. The figure compares to the 4,281 people sent in 95 buses on the same month of 2023, as shown in data from the Texas Division of Emergency Management.
