A busload of Texas migrants was unloaded Sunday at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., where the home of Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly located on Number One Observatory Circle.
A local ABC news station in Washington DC tweeted videos of migrants getting off the bus and grabbing their belongings from the storage room below.
It’s not the first time Texas Governor Greg Abbott has sent a busload of immigrants from the US-Mexico border to the vice president’s home.

At Christmas 2022, a bus of migrants was dropped off in front of Harris’s home. Migrants were also bussed to the Naval Observatory in September and October.

The governor began sending migrants from border towns to the nation’s capital in April 2022 to put pressure on the Biden administration to crack down on immigration enforcement and border security.
Abbott said in a letter to President Biden at the time that his policies are “leaving many people out in the bitter, dangerous cold as a polar vortex moves into Texas.”

“Texas has carried a lopsided burden as a result of your open border policies,” Abbott added.
As Title 42 was about to expire last Thursday, Abbott spoke to Fox News’ Jesse Waters and pledged to continue sending busloads of migrants to liberal northern communities, including New York and Chicago.
“There will be more to come,” Abbott said of the buses his state sends in particular. “More will go to New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other places around the country.”
The governor also provided the latest Operation Lone Star statistics, saying Texas was doing what no other state has done before to protect communities as the president ends Title 42.

Those statistics suggest there were 373,000 detentions, 28,000 criminal arrests, 402 million lethal doses of fentanyl seized, and more than 17,600 migrants bussed to sanctuary cities.
