Trying to Find Places for Asylum Seekers in N.Y.C.’s Homeless Shelters

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been in the news for, among other immigrant measures, busing migrants from Texas to New York City and Washington, D.C.  In “Trying to Find Places for Asylum Seekers in N.Y.C.’s Homeless Shelters” in the New Yorker, Eric Lach reports on a. immigrants’-rights advocate description of receiving busloads of migrants from Texas at the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

Governor Abbott brags about the busing program and what he has called “Operation Lone Star,” in which state and local law enforcement have assisted in arresting migrants and suspected criminals.  It was reported in July (and here) that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Operation Lone Star for potential civil rights violations.
