Texas spends more than $12 million to bus migrants to Washington, DC, and New York
A state authorities spreadsheet obtained by CNN by a Freedom of Data Act request reveals that, as of August 9, Texas has paid $12,707,720.92 to Wynne Transportation, the constitution service that’s taking migrants to the 2 cities.
Abbott’s workplace didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark from CNN on Tuesday. In a information launch Friday, Abbott’s workplace mentioned that “the busing mission is offering much-needed reduction to our overwhelmed border communities.”
Texas has solicited personal donations to assist pay for the price of the bus journeys, however the state had solely obtained $167,828 as of August 17. At a information convention in April saying this system, Abbott acknowledged taxpayers had been prone to find yourself with a part of the invoice.
“As a result of (President) Joe Biden shouldn’t be securing the border, the state of Texas is having to step up and spend Texas taxpayers’ cash doing the federal authorities’s job,” the governor mentioned on the time.
State businesses have offered conflicting figures for the precise variety of migrants that Texas has bused out of state, starting from 8,051 to 9,033. That quantities to a price of no less than $1,400 per migrant to move.
A fierce critic of Biden’s immigration insurance policies, Abbott started sending lots of of prepared migrants on buses to Washington, DC, earlier this 12 months as an affront to the administration. Abbott’s workplace has mentioned that “to board a bus or flight, a migrant should volunteer to be transported and present documentation from DHS.”
However Division of Homeland Safety Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas informed CNN final week that Abbott’s efforts are throwing the federal system for processing migrants “out of whack” and criticized the governor for not coordinating with federal authorities. Mayorkas mentioned it is “problematic” when an official like Abbott works “unilaterally.”
“That lack of coordination wreaks issues in our very environment friendly processing,” he mentioned.
This story has been up to date with extra data Tuesday.

The Washington Commanders return to Northwest Stadium for a high-stakes Week 12 rivalry clash against the Dallas Cowboys.
After back-to-back losses, the Commanders is not only seeking a much-needed win but also bragging rights in this storied division matchup. Several players also have their sights set on key milestones heading into Sunday’s game.
With a win, Washington would move to 8-4, marking their best start through 12 games since 1996. It would also solidify their dominance at home this season, improving to 5-1 at Northwest Stadium — their best home record through 12 games since 1992.
As Week 12 approaches, here are the numbers to watch as players aim for historic milestones:
1
Tight end Zach Ertz needs one touchdown reception to tie Keith Jackson (49) for 16th all-time among tight ends in NFL history.
2
Linebacker Bobby Wagner needs 100 tackles in 2024 to become only the second player since 2000 to achieve 13 or more consecutive 100-tackle seasons, joining London Fletcher, who accomplished the feat 14 times from 2000-2013. Wagner currently has 66 tackles this season. He’s also closing in on another milestone, needing two interceptions to reach 15 for his career.
Tight end Zach Ertz is just two touchdown receptions away from reaching 50 in his career.
Running back Austin Ekeler needs two receptions to surpass Thurman Thomas (472) for 25th all-time in receptions by a running back.
Defensive tackle Daron Payne is 2.5 sacks shy of breaking into the top 10 for career sacks in Washington franchise history.
3
Frankie Luvu needs three sacks to reach 30 career sacks.
4
Washington wide receiver Terry McLaurin is on the verge of several milestones. McLaurin needs 50 receptions and 900 receiving yards this season to become just the fourth player in NFL history to reach those marks in each of his first six seasons, joining Mike Evans, A.J. Green, and Randy Moss—a feat DK Metcalf is also chasing.
Additionally, McLaurin needs 75 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards in 2024 to become the fourth player to hit those marks in five of his first six seasons, joining Torry Holt, Brandon Marshall, and Randy Moss.
McLaurin is also closing in on franchise history, needing four receptions to pass Chris Cooley (429) for fifth all-time in Washington history. He’s four touchdown receptions away from reaching 35 career touchdowns.
5
Linebacker Bobby Wagner is also nearing a milestone, needing five sacks to reach 40 for his career.
6
Austin Ekeler recently surpassed Arian Foster (8,873) for the second-most scrimmage yards by an undrafted running back in the common-draft era, trailing only Priest Holmes (11,134). Ekeler now has 8,916 career scrimmage yards and has his sights set on another milestone. With 471 career receptions, he is just 29 catches away from becoming the sixth running back in NFL history to record 500 receptions in his first eight seasons. This exclusive club includes Marshall Faulk (548), LaDainian Tomlinson (510), Christian McCaffrey (509 in seven seasons), Roger Craig (508), and Alvin Kamara (505 in seven seasons).
Meanwhile, tight end Zach Ertz continues to cement his place in NFL history. Despite Washington recent losses, Ertz became the sixth tight end in league history to reach 750 career receptions, joining legends like Tony Gonzalez (1,325), Jason Witten (1,228), Antonio Gates (955), Travis Kelce (907 entering 2023), and Shannon Sharpe (815). Ertz currently has 752 career receptions.
7
While it may not happen this Sunday, Austin Ekeler is closing in on a historic milestone. He needs seven more touchdown receptions to surpass Marshall Faulk (36) for the most by a running back in the Super Bowl era. Ekeler currently has 30 career touchdown receptions.
9
Another milestone to keep an eye on—though it may not happen this week—is Zach Ertz approaching 8,000 career receiving yards. He is just 138 yards away from becoming the ninth tight end in NFL history to reach this milestone.

The No. 1 Oregon football team will look to wrap its regular season with a perfect record against rival Washington next Saturday at home for senior night.
The Ducks (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) are the only unbeaten team left in the Big Ten and could get some revenge against the Huskies (6-5, 4-4 Big Ten) at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 30 from Autzen Stadium.
The game will air on NBC.
Oregon coach Dan Lanning will be looking for his first win against the Huskies as head coach, having lost all three matchups in the last two seasons against UW.
The Washington team in 2024 is a far cry from what it was in 2022 and 2023, with first-year head coach Jedd Fisch replacing Kalen DeBoer (now at Alabama) and guiding Washington to a 6-5 record.
The Ducks have already qualified for the Big Ten Championship game, set to be played the following Saturday, Dec. 7.
