"Texas' small border towns remain overwhelmed and overrun by the thousands of people illegally crossing into Texas from Mexico because of President Biden's refusal to secure the border," the governor said in a statement."It is abhorrent that an American elected official is using human beings as pawns in his cheap political games," Bass said in a statement.
Nongovernmental organizations and city agencies across the country have had to scramble to meet the groups of migrants as they're dropped off, often with no heads up from Texas government officials or the organizations they've contracted to help dispatch the buses. In September 2022 the governor bused migrants to a location near Vice President Kamala Harris' residence in Washington, D.C.
Civil rights attorneys representing some of the migrants filed a class-action lawsuit accusing the governor and other state officials of misleading migrants by promising resources if they boarded the flights.
