Migrants dropped off at Vice President Harris’ home on Christmas Eve

In the cold of Christmas Eve, a growing number of migrants from the southern border arrived by bus outside the home of Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington, D.C., various media outlets reported.

Big picture: Washington, D.C. declared a public emergency in September in response to Texas, Arizona and other states sending thousands of migrants across the southern border into the capital by bus and plane.

detail: It’s unclear who sent the bus Saturday night, but organizers of the Immigrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network believe Abbott was behind it, reports WJLA-TV.

• CNN reported that many migrants wore nothing but T-shirts in the freezing cold and were given blankets before being moved to shelters or churches.
• The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement Saturday that immigrants could be deported under Title 42 public health officials or enter into deportation proceedings.

What they say: ““With temperatures remaining dangerously low across the border, no one should put their lives in the hands of smugglers or risk life or limb to cross,” the DHS said.
