Texas Governor Greg Abbott has bused migrants to the Vice Presidential residence in Washington, DC, and left them out on the street in single digit weather.
Putting people at risk like this has to be breaking some laws, particularly since they are sent across state lines, and I would like to see US Attorneys in Texas and Washington, DC looking into this:
Three busloads of migrants were dropped off outside the Washington DC home of US vice-president Kamala Harris late on Christmas Eve, the latest episode in an escalating battle between the Joe Biden White House and the governors of southern Republican states over federal immigration policy.
The Central and South American migrants, believed to be sent from Texas, were dropped off in below-freezing temperatures, with some wearing only sweatshirts and shorts.
Texas’s far-right governor, Greg Abbott, has previously sent buses to Harris’s Naval Observatory home. An organizer with the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network, Amy Fischer, told local news station ABC7 that Abbott orchestrated the drop off as a political stunt.
“It really does show the cruelty behind governor Abbott and his insistence on continuing to bus people here without care about people arriving late at night on Christmas Eve when the weather is so cold,” Fischer said.
The group took the travelers to the shelter of a local church where they were given warm food and clothes.
The only reason that I don't want to see Greg Abbott frog marched out of his offices in handcuffs is because he is a paraplegic.
They would have to wheel him out in handcuffs.
