The first bus filled with dozens of undocumented immigrants from Texas arrived in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, a week after Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to transport migrants in the U.S. illegally to the nation’s capital.
The bus arrived in Washington around 8 a.m., parking blocks away from the U.S. Capitol in front of a building that houses Fox News, NBC News and C-SPAN. “We are sending them to the United States capital, where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border,” the Republican governor added.
One group was reported on social media to have recognized that they were being used for political purposes but consented to the bus trip as their ultimate destination was Florida, where the group aimed to apply for asylum. “His own office admits that a migrant would need to voluntarily be transported, and then he can’t compel them to because, again, enforcement of our country’s immigration laws lies with the federal government and not a state,” she said.
Truckers have since protested the order, blocking north- and southbound lanes on international bridges — causing more delays.
