Texas Governor Sends Migrants to Los Angeles in Controversial Move

Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent 42 migrants, including 18 minors and three infants, to Los Angeles by bus, in what L.A. Mayor Karen Bass called "a despicable stunt." The migrants are asylum seekers who had been allowed to cross the U.S.-Mexico border into Texas. Abbott and other conservative governors have been coordinating drop-offs of migrants in Democratic-led states and cities, drawing criticism from immigrant advocates and Democratic leaders. The incident prompted an investigation by California officials into possible criminal charges.
