CHICAGO AND SAN ANTONIO— On August 11, Reps. Joaquin Castro (TX-20) and Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04) issued the following statement in response to the reported death of a three-year-old child on a bus sponsored by the state of Texas that was carrying asylum-seekers from Texas to Chicago:
“Migrant parents make the journey to our country seeking safety and stability for their children. We are saddened and horrified, but not surprised, by the death of a three-year-old child on a state-sponsored bus from Texas to Chicago. For months, Operation Lone Star has trafficked asylum-seekers across the country in squalid conditions. Governor Abbott’s barbaric practices are killing people, and the Biden administration has an obligation to stop them.”
