Texas Governor Greg Abbott has sent 42 migrants from the state to Los Angeles, calling it "much-needed relief" for his state. Abbott noted that Texas' small border towns remain overwhelmed due to President Biden's refusal to secure the border, and that Los Angeles is a major destination for migrants due to its self-declared sanctuary city status. The migrants were met by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and other city officials, who expressed their commitment to providing the migrants with resources and ensuring their rights are respected.
