In a surprise move, Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent a busload of migrants to the doorstep of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris' residence on Christmas Eve. With temperatures in the teens, the 50 migrants were left outside her home in an apparent stunt to send a message about immigration policies. The incident has caused outrage among many citizens and politicians alike, with some calling it an "unacceptable political ploy". Harris herself released a statement condemning the move as "cruel and completely unacceptable" and saying that she would be working with local authorities to ensure those affected are provided for. Meanwhile, Abbott has been unapologetic about his actions, citing what he sees as Harris' failure to address immigration issues during her time as senator. He has also accused her of not doing enough to help immigrants while she was California's attorney general. However, these claims have been disputed by some who point out that Harris was instrumental in passing legislation that allowed undocumented children access to healthcare services in California. In response to the incident, several organizations have come forward offering assistance and resources for those affected by Abbott's stunt. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is one such organization that is providing legal aid and other support services for those who were dropped off at Harris' residence on Christmas Eve. They are also calling on state officials to investigate the incident further and take action against any violations of civil rights or laws related to immigration policies. The situation remains ongoing as more details emerge about what happened on Christmas Eve at Kamala Harris' residence. It is clear that this was an intentional act meant to send a message about immigration policies but its implications remain unclear for now. What is certain though is that this will continue to be a hot topic of discussion until more information becomes available or until action is taken against those responsible for this unfortunate event.
