Migrants dropped off at Kamala Harris's home on Christmas Eve
STORY: Video showed migrants who were lightly dressed for temperatures as low as 18 degrees Fahrenheit (-8 Celsius) due to a nationwide winter freeze, getting off and onto buses outside of the Naval Observatory, the Vice President’s residence.
Some of the migrants were given blankets and taken to local shelters and a church, according to CNN.
A volunteer with the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network told CNN that the migrants, who are from Ecuador, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru, were supposed to go to New York but were diverted by bad weather.
It was not clear who was responsible for sending the buses to Harris’ residence, but migrants were similarly dispatched there by Texas Governor Greg Abbott in September. Several Republican governors have been sending migrants to northern states to protest a rise in border crossings.
Aides to Texas Governor Greg Abbott were not available to comment on whether the state coordinated their transportation.
The Republican governor, a vocal critic of the Biden administration's immigration policies, and some other Republican governors have been transporting migrants to Democratic-controlled cities in the northern United States.
Texas has bused thousands of migrants to Washington, New York City, and Chicago, in what some critics have labeled a stunt amid a national debate over the high levels of immigrant arrivals along the U.S. southern border.
