Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that the first bus of migrants is on its way to Philadelphia as of Tuesday afternoon.
"Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney has long-celebrated and fought for sanctuary city status, making the city an ideal addition to Texas' list of drop-off locations," the statement read.The migrants will be dropped off at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia Wednesday morning, according to a statement from the governor.
In a statement issued Tuesday night, officials say community partners believe there are 30 migrants aboard the bus – half of whom are part of a "family unit" and the other half are solo travelers. Only three of the migrant passengers have Pennsylvania as their final destination, according to the city. Officials believe some may exit the bus before reaching Philadelphia and others could continue to New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts or Maryland.
