LOS ANGELES—On August 30, the 11th bus carrying illegal migrants from Texas arrived in Los Angeles, marking yet another influx of asylum seekers. The L.A.

“In Los Angeles, 35 asylum seekers sent from Brownsville, Texas, Wednesday, were shown compassion and treated with dignity, respect as they start their long journey to settle in our community,” The coalition posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Zach Seidl, a spokesman for Mayor Karen Bass, confirmed the latest arrival in a statement.
“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,” Mr. Seidl said. “As we have before, when we became aware of the bus yesterday, we activated our plan.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been orchestrating these trips, citing the overwhelming number of immigrants crossing the Mexican border into Texas.
“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,” Mr. Abbott said in a statement after the first bus arrived in Los Angeles in June.
“Los Angeles is a major city that migrants seek to go to, particularly now that its city leaders approved its self-declared sanctuary city status. Our border communities are on the front lines of President Biden’s border crisis, and Texas will continue providing this much-needed relief until he steps up to do his job and secure the border.”
The Los Angeles City Council approved a motion on June 9 seeking to formally establish the city as a ”Sanctuary City.”
The L.A. City Council approved a motion Wednesday morning calling for the City Attorney’s Office to investigate whether crimes were committed on or before June 14, when Abbott sent 42 migrants to Los Angeles.
