Southern California agencies and nonprofits have stepped in to assist the 42 migrants bused here from Texas as state officials say criminal charges will be investigated in the case.
as state officials say criminal charges will be investigated in the case.
The bus of migrants dropped them off at Union Station before being taken to St. Anthony's Croatian Catholic Church in Chinatown, where they were greeted by city agencies, non profits and advocates ready to help. Officials say the migrants did not sleep at the church, and spent the night either with family members or at a shelter.
Officials are now helping the migrants -- who are mainly from Venezuela, Honduras and Guatemala -- in their process of seeking asylum in the United States. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the "first bus" of migrants from his state had arrived in Los Angeles on Wednesday because "our overwhelmed border towns are on the frontlines of President Biden's border crisis and need relief. Texas will bus migrants to sanctuary cities like LA until he secures the border."
Earlier this month, the state of Florida under the direction of Gov. Ron DeSantis flew migrants from Texas to Sacramento. Gov. Gavin Newsom and state Attorney General Rob Bonta said they were looking into criminal charges in that case, including kidnapping.
