The men, who crossed the border in Laredo, Texas, had intentions to travel to New York, Florida or Utah and said they were confused as to why they were sent to California, where none of them had contacts or prospects.
GOP governors have been sponsoring bus and plane transfers of migrants from their states to northern jurisdictions including New York; Washington, D.C.; and the island of Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. It’s a behavior with a discredited history.
NorCal Resist provided the men with hotel rooms and helped them consult with an immigration attorney.The eight migrants had planned to go to other parts of the country where they were told about Venezuelan communities but are considering staying in the area. Some have donated their time to NorCal Resist, helping the group move furniture and other donations to a Syrian refugee family.
Their paperwork states that they have to report to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices in Sacramento, but all of the men were confused as to why.NorCal Resist often coordinates with immigration officials and other groups in Texas if migrants are being sent to the area and need assistance. The groups usually coordinate resources, shelter and contacts. None of that occurred this time.
