D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a public emergency in response to thousands of migrants from the southern border being sent to the city on buses from Texas and Arizona.
Bowser's declaration
comes with a $10 million investment in a new D.C. Office of Migrant Services. The local department will help nonprofits and other groups that are straining to welcome and help the migrants arriving at Union Station, where city officials hope to have a 24/7 presence soon.Bowser called the actions of the Republican governor a "stunt," and also criticized the Biden administration for not offering more support.
Bowser did not say if she has tried to directly reach Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey or Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. "We recognize that we don't know and we have no control on all that is coming toward the District," Bowser said.
