“All of a sudden a bunch of people show up,” Greyhound spokeswoman Crystal Booker told CNN, according to The Hill. “We weren’t expecting it. We are not given prior notice.”

The over 200 migrants were temporarily housed in buses.

Then, the next day, on Christmas Eve, approximately 60 more were dropped off.  More were expected to be dropped off on Christmas and on the 26th.

Beto O’Rourke posted a video on Facebook discussing the influx of migrants.

“(ICE) admitted they had dropped the ball (Sunday) in not notifying the community they were going to release 214 people at the Greyhound station, and then told us we would be expecting 200 people today, which we are seeing, that we’ll expect 200 people (Tuesday), so they are at least giving the community the opportunity to begin getting shelters, hotel rooms, food, medical supplies ready for those who are coming to our community,” O’Rourke said in a video posted on Facebook.
