Catholic Charities and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will partner to provide respite services for migrants being bused from the border to Houston.
KPRC 2 has previously reported the federal government plans to bus some migrants released from Border Patrol custody to cities farther north, like Houston. Federal officials are trying to alleviate overcrowding at shelters along the border.
The grant, which will cover a 3-month period, will be used to provide temporary respite to migrants traveling through Houston. At this time, the groups are considering using a hotel near Bush-Intercontinental Airport. Officials with Catholic Charities said they will serve as the fiscal agent and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be the service provider.“For us, it’s another band-aid.
“We should deal with the crisis that’s at hand, we should deal with what’s at hand on the US/Mexico border and not just spend more resources just to score political points,” said Espinosa.
