This is happening as DPS troopers continue to conduct enhanced inspections of commercial vehicles coming from Mexico, which continues to cause massive back-ups.Mayor Muriel Bowser has declared a public health emergency in response to Texas continuing to bus migrants to the nation’s capital.over his policy, announced the city would spend an initial $10 million to create an office to help coordinate the arrival of migrants, offering them support when they arrive.
The voluntary busing policy, part of the governor’s Operation Lone Star initiative to address the large number of migrants arriving at the Texas-Mexico border, began as a way of antagonizing the Biden administration over its border policies. The first buses arrived in D.C. in April, and since then Abbott has sent over 7,900 migrants to the capital. He has also sent migrants to New York City and Chicago. Arizona has also bused migrants to D.C.
His office unleashed a searing criticism of Bowser and the Biden administration after the announcement, labeling the mayor "an absolute hypocrite.""The true emergency is on our nation’s southern border—not in our nation’s capital—where small Texas border towns are overrun and overwhelmed by hundreds of migrants every single day as the Biden Administration dumps them in their communities," Abbott’s press secretary Renae Eze said in a statement to The Texas Tribune.
