A bus carrying around 50 migrants departed Texas bound for Philadelphia on Saturday, according to several news outlets.
Texas officials did not contact Philadelphia ahead of busing the 50-52 individuals seeking asylum, rather Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney learned the news from a community partner, according to CBS Philadelphia.
The city of Philadelphia said it was “disappointing and irresponsible” that Texas officials would send the bus without alerting them, CBS reported.
“We do not have an exact location of where the bus will disembark, nor do we have any specific information about those on board, nor do we know if other buses are planned,” the city said.
