Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Buses 100+ Asylum Seekers to Residence of VP Kamala Harris

HeadlineDec 27, 2022

More than 100 asylum seekers arrived on buses outside the residence of Vice President Kamala Harris on Christmas Eve as temperatures in Washington, D.C., dropped to 18 degrees Fahrenheit. They were the latest migrants sent by Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott to cities led by Democrats. Immigrant rights activist Jenn Kauffman said the asylees were quickly given blankets and brought to a shelter by members of the D.C. Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network. She added, “This was intended to be a cruel stunt by Greg Abbott, but people are working around the clock to treat these families with the dignity they deserve.”
