A bus carrying 35 migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas is set to arrive in Los Angeles on Thursday, the third in a series launched by Gov. Greg Abbott and sent to California.
Volunteers with the L.A. Welcomes Collective, a network of nonprofit, faith and immigrant rights groups, were waiting to greet the bus at Union Station. They were alerted that the bus had left the border city of Brownsville early Wednesday.
"We are grateful to the City of Brownsville for sending information in advance about this bus so we can better prepare to welcome them," Lindsay Toczylowski, executive director of the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, said in a statement. "We will continue to work with our community partners to receive migrants with dignity and ensure their legal needs are met."
