The City of San Antonio is partnering with the City of Austin to provide migrants transportation to their final destinations.
Asylum seekers are legally permitted to make their way to their final destinations. As the City of SA helps provide transportation, it will seek full reimbursement from the federal government for the expenses.
According to city officials, asylum seekers will need to complete initial processing and be pre-booked for flights leaving out of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport before leaving San Antonio’s Migrant Resource Center. Between 40 and 120 asylum seekers are expected to arrive on buses to Austin during each travel day before they’re taken to board their pre-booked flights.
The travel support for asylum seekers will not bring more flights or airline activity in Austin or San Antonio, according to city officials. Catholic Charities of San Antonio will also be providing assistance to Austin with a 24/7 phone line that will help asylum seekers who need to rebook their flights.
