Arriving in downtown L.A. after a 30-hour bus journey, 30 migrants sent from Texas were met by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics and aid group workers. They were then taken by local bus to St. Anthony’s Croatian Catholic Church, where a makeshift center was set up to help passengers reunite with family and access social services.
