Members of the LA City Council are pursuing an investigation into whether human trafficking and kidnapping were committed when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott bused migrants from his state to L.A.
Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez introduced the motion alongside her colleagues Nithya Raman, Monica Rodriguez and Hugo Soto-Martinez to direct the City Attorney's office to conduct the investigation., California State Attorney General Rob Bonta and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to conduct similar investigations for possible crimes committed during the "political stunt."Migrants have endured a long journey before arriving at Los Angeles, community leaders say.
"Shortly after I took office, I directed city departments to begin planning in the event Los Angeles was on the receiving end of a despicable stunt that Republican governors have grown so fond of," Bass said in a statement late Wednesday night.
