LA Mayor Karen Bass fears influx of planes with illegal immigrants, linking it to political motives and the upcoming election.
She added that the transportation of immigrants from border states and Florida to "sanctuary" juristictions "is just setting the stage for the presidential election next year." Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
The liberal city mayor's comments come as governors overrun by illegal immigration have sent busloads of migrants to cities like New York City, Chicago and Washington, D.C. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has already sent 13 busloads of migrants to Los Angeles — which touts itself as a sanctuary city — as part of Operation Lone Star.
Abbott continued to send buses as the city was hit by Tropical Storm Hilary, which Bass called "evil."
