Another bus carrying dozens of migrants arrived in Los Angeles, California, Saturday afternoon from Texas, the second in the last three weeks.
The migrants, including 11 children, are from eight different countries, including Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
CHIRLA believes the bus was sent through Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's state-funded busing efforts, but has not received confirmation from the governor's office. ABC News has also reached out to Abbott's office to confirm. CHIRLA said unlike June 14's transfer, officials in Brownsville alerted the group before the migrants' arrival. CHIRLA spokesperson Jorge-Mario Cabrera spoke with ABC News but could not specify who gave the organization a heads up about the incoming bus. However, he said they learned about it Friday night and were able to mobilize resources to meet the migrants when they arrived.
"The city of Brownsville, once we confirmed that the bus was on the way, they tried to make sure that we had as much information about the individuals so that by the time that they arrived here, we would be even more prepared," said CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas. "We can't control what Texas does, how they're doing this, but we can control what we're doing here in the city of L.A.
