Since April, some 100 buses have dropped off more than 3,500 migrants at Union Station—and local aid groups need help.
Hoping to bring what he’s called a border crisis to DC’s doorstep, Texas Governor Greg Abbott began to send migrants to the District, via a 33-hour bus trip, in April. And he hasn’t stopped since. In fact, Arizona Governor Doug DuceySo far, roughly 100 buses have pulled up to Union Station, where approximately 3,500 migrants have found themselves confronting the same unsettled future as before, only now in DC.
“We’re talking about people who walked for four months to get to Texas and now are being shipped 30-plus hours on a bus to get to another location,” said Amy Hammond, founder of Migrant Help DMV who has also been helping coordinate volunteers and donations for the international nonprofit SAMU First Response, back in April. “Some of them are completely traumatized by what they’ve seen and others are thrilled to finally be here.
For instance, Catholic Charities DC, which was heavily involved in helping the migrants early on, has since scaled back its efforts,that its “ongoing response was not sustainable from a staffing and resource perspective, given our many other programs and services. We strongly encourage local and federal government to step up.”
