Report: Texas undermined nonprofits' attempts to aid migrants bused out of state

Texas officials quietly tried to thwart work by immigrant advocacy groups to ease the transition for migrants bused to Democrat-led cities as part of Gov. Greg Abbott's immigration crackdown, according to a CBS News investigation. In September, officials with the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), which oversees the migrant buses, told the Val Verde Border Humanitarian Coalition — a group helping nonprofits in destination cities prepare for the arriving migrants — that it would no longer offer logistical information on the trips, CBS reports, citing interviews with people involved. The state agency also stopped observing local curfews that were timed to prevent buses from arriving in cities such as New York and Washington, D.C., in the middle of the night, according the the report.
