In a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, Mayor Ron Nirenberg requested migrants be transported to other cities in addition to San Antonio.In a letter last month to the Department of Homeland Security, Mayor Ron Nirenberg urged federal officials to create a plan to transport migrants from the border to other cities in Texas, including Houston and Austin.
Nirenberg didn’t communicate with leaders from these cities before making the request according to a spokesman from his office on Wednesday, who added that he was in no way “attempting to prescribe where migrants go,” but was instead pointing out that Texas has additional transportation hubs capable of sharing the burden.
San Antonio has the capacity to support roughly 600 migrants a day with existing travel plans; at the end of March, an average of 628 individuals “stayed in shelters, slept overnight at the airport, or slept in city parks,” Nirenberg wrote.
