The migrants traveling from Texas to sanctuary-city Philadelphia are scheduled to be dropped off Wednesday morning.
The bus arrived shortly after 6 a.m. and was met by city officials and community organizations, perPhiladelphia City Council member Helen Gym told CBS Philadelphia that there were around 28 migrants on the bus, including a 10-year-old child who was sick.
"There's a 10-year-old who’s completely dehydrated. It’s one of the more inhumane aspects that they would put a child who was dehydrated with a fever now, a very high fever ," Gym told AP. "It's a terrible situation."Philadelphia city officials said Texas government officials did not inform them of the transport or coordinate with them about it.
"As a proud welcoming city, we will greet our newly arrived neighbors with dignity and respect," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said in a statement Tuesday. But, "It is truly disgusting to hear today that Governor Abbott and his Administration continue to implement their purposefully cruel policy using immigrant families—including women and children—as pawns to shamelessly push his warped political agenda," Kenney continued.
"Sadly, racism and human cruelty have historically been intertwined in how immigrants are received by and within this country, something the previous presidential administration openly and actively encouraged," he added.
