Episode: Advocates Say that Migrants Arriving from Texas are not Coming to NYC Willingly
Description: Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been sending the asylum seekers to “sanctuary cities” Washington, DC, and NYC for months — without sufficient food, water and medical assistance, say those that are supporting the migrants as they arrive. Since Friday, two buses carrying asylum seekers have arrived from Texas, with a total of 68 passengers. 4,000 immigrants have come from Texas in the last few months.
We are joined by Adriana Phillips, founder of South Bronx Mutual Aid and a member of the NYC ICE watch network. She has been on-the-ground, greeting buses as they arrive from Texas.
