New migrants have been delivered to Vice President Kamala Harris's residence in Washington, DC, by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

An assistance organization reports that on Monday morning, the most recent 46 migrants arrived by bus at the Naval Observatory in the US capital's northwest.

Abbott Sends More Migrants in DC

Migrants who were relocated from Texas to Washington have received assistance from SAMU First Response. The 46 people in the group, according to its managing director Tatiana Laborde, included both single people and entire families. They were escorted to a nearby church for assistance.

In opposition to the Biden administration's border policies, Abbott and two other Republican governors have pushed migrants north via aircraft or bus. After being processed by immigration authorities and while they awaited the scheduling of their court dates, many migrants who had applied for asylum in the US were placed outside the observatory last month.

Abbott launched that caravan of migrants only a few days after Harris said the border was secure on NBC's Meet the Press. When speaking to CNN at the time, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff called Mr. Abbott's stunt shameful.

Until the Biden administration revises its border rules, buses will continue to arrive in Chicago, Washington, DC, and New York City on a regular basis, according to Grumbach, as per Independent.

Rep. Andy Biggs of the GOP recently expressed his dismay at Vice President Kamala Harris for traveling to South Korea's border with North Korea before the US-Mexico border, where a record number of migrants are entering the US.

Biggs said that he had personally invited Karine Jean-Pierre, the press secretary for the White House, to accompany him on a trip to the southern border. In response to North Korea's test firing of a ballistic missile toward the sea, Harris traveled to Korea's DMZ to demonstrate Washington's commitment to the security of the south.

Since she was tasked with examining the root reasons for migration early in the administration, Harris has made one trip to the border, but she chose to go to the liberal city of El Paso at the northernmost portion of the border in Texas rather than to any deeper border areas.

The vice president also paid a visit to Guatemala in June 2021, when she met with area leaders including President Alejandro Giammattei to discuss forming alliances to enhance living conditions in the Northern Triangle and deter residents from emigrating to the US.

President Joe Biden assigned the vice president to oversee the migration situation, but her staff rapidly rebranded the position as tackling the underlying reasons why people fled to the US from the Northern Triangle countries.

Woman Who Lured Migrants on DeSantis' Flights Identified

A woman sent from Mexico named Perla Huerta, according to the New York Times, recruited the 48 migrants who were transported to a wealthy Massachusetts neighborhood.

A person with knowledge of the San Antonio sheriff's office inquiry told the Times that Huerta, who was previously only known by her first name, was the point person dispatched from Florida who it is believed encouraged migrants in San Antonio to board aircraft bound for Martha's Vineyard.

Huerta had worked for the US Army for 20 years as a combat medic and counterintelligence agent, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, according to military records seen by the Times. The locals of Martha's Vineyard and the migrants themselves were perplexed when they arrived as to how, why, and where they ended themselves on the island.

Carlos Guanaguanay, one of the migrants, said to the Times that they were lured into the flights. The migrants claimed that a woman who introduced herself only by her first name, Perla, approached them and offered them free lodging and employment in exchange for joining the flights.

Before the trip, Huerta gave the migrants food and lodging. The migrants arrived with red folders containing a bogus trifold pamphlet labeled Refugee Migrant Benefits and a map of the United States pointing to Massachusetts.

The papers were referred to as official-looking in a class-action lawsuit brought on behalf of the migrants, but they were not created by any Massachusetts state agency. The two flights arrived at Martha's Vineyard in the middle of September, and Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis immediately claimed responsibility for chartering them, Daily Mail reported.
