Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that he has bussed a group of migrants to Los Angeles' Union Station Wednesday.
LISTEN:
"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," said Abbott.
According to the governor, the bus arrived at the transportation hub Wednesday evening. It's unclear where the migrants were taken after arriving at Union Station.

"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," said Abbott. "Our border communities are on the frontlines 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."
It's unknown how many migrants were transported from Texas. According to Abbott, the state has transported more than 21,600 migrants to several cities across the country since last spring.
This is the third known instance of states transporting migrants to a California city in the past few weeks. Earlier this month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew two planes of migrants to Sacramento.
