Gov. Greg Abbott speaks during a border appearance discussing Operation Lone Star.
As Hilary dumped 7 inches of rain in downtown LA and flash flood warnings went out across Southern California, a bus dispatched by Abbott dropped off migrants, including women and children, at Union Station Monday afternoon,"It is evil to endanger the lives of vulnerable migrants by sending a bus with families and toddlers on board to a city that at the time was under an unprecedented tropical storm warning," Bass said in a statement.
"If anybody understands the danger of hurricanes and thunderstorms, it's the Governor of Texas — who has to deal with this threat on an annual basis," Bass' statement said."This is a despicable act beyond politics." the bus drivers received updated weather conditions during the drive, adding that the vehicle rerouted"out of an abundance of caution" and took a more cautious route into LA.
