US Cities Prepare for Influx of Migrant Arrivals Amidst Sanctuary City Debate

A bus carrying immigrants who crossed the border into Texas arrived in Philadelphia early Wednesday, sent by Gov. Greg Abbott as part of his ongoing effort to target northern sanctuary cities. It was the first bus to land here in four months, coming as local officials readied for more arrivals amid a potential surge of people at the southern border. The trip to Philadelphia was not smooth, according to people who disembarked on Wednesday. Some children developed stomach problems from the prepackaged military meals that were provided to them. All those sent to Philadelphia have legal permission to be in the country, and most or all are seeking asylum, a protection that can be provided to people who could be harmed in their homelands.
