Philadelphia Ready to Welcome Migrants Bussed From Texas by Gov. Abbott
a spokesperson for Kenney said they were told last week that approximately 30 asylum seekers were expected to travel from Del Rio to Philadelphia. They also said Texas officials have not coordinated with Philadelphia officials and they did not have an anticipated time for when the bus would arrive as a result.
"As Texas officials have not coordinated with local officials, this information has not been confirmed, but it has been reported to us from our community partners that roughly half of the 30 individuals are part of family units, and half are solo individuals," the spokesperson wrote."Approximately seven children may be on board."
The spokesperson said it was likely that several of the migrants will disembark during stops in other states during the trip. "Only three individuals have Pennsylvania reported as their final destination, according to the latest information provided by our local partner organization; others are reported to continue on to nearby locations including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Maryland," the spokesperson wrote.
