Fourth bus of migrants from Texas arrives to Los Angeles

A fourth bus filled with migrants from Texas arrived at Los Angeles' Union Station Tuesday evening. 

"One bus with migrants on board from Texas arrived around 6:30 PM PT today at Union Station," said Zach Seidl, spokesperson for Mayor Karen Bass. "The City has continued to work with City Departments, the County, and a coalition of nonprofit organizations, in addition to our faith partners, to execute a plan set in place earlier this year. As we have before, when we became aware of the bus yesterday, we activated our plan."  

According to the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, over 40 migrants boarded the bus in Brownsville, Texas Monday evening, including several children under 15 years old. As of right now, CHIRLA believes many of the migrants are from Venezuela. 

"We do not mistake these busing episodes as well-intentioned," said CHIRLA executive director Angelica Salas. "Texas and Florida have shown a callous disregard to the human experience, especially as it relates to asylum seekers with black and brown skin. Busing migrants anywhere in the middle of a scorching summer is not kind, it is cruel and unjustified."

The first bus of migrants arrived in L.A. in mid-June and brought around the same number of people.

In early June, Florida chartered two planes of migrants to Sacramento.
