A bus filled with migrants arrived in Los Angeles from Texas on Wednesday as part of Gov. Greg Abbott's effort to bring attention to the southern border by transporting migrants to left-leaning cities.

Abbott didn't say how many migrants were taken to California's largest city, but noted that the LA has been run as a so-called "sanctuary city" for years. 

"Texas just dropped off the 1st bus of migrants in Los Angeles," Abbott said in a news release. "Small Texas border towns remain overrun & overwhelmed because Biden refuses to secure the border. LA is a city migrants seek to go to, particularly now its leaders approved its self-declared sanctuary status."

A bus with around 30 people was dropped off at St. Anthony’s Croatian Church in Chinatown, FOX Los Angeles reported.

Families from Latin America and Haiti were welcomed by several people and organizations. They are expected to be transferred to shelter locations. 

Abbott has taken a more aggressive approach to border enforcement than his fellow governors and has made the transportation of migrants to Democratic-run cities a part of his effort to secure the border and provide relief for border towns with scarce resources.

Many have been taken to Chicago, New York City, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia where officials there have had to scramble to accommodate the thousands of migrants being sent there.

New York Mayor Eric Adams was criticized earlier this month when he suggested that migrants should be housed in private residences with spare rooms. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to the office of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. Texas has transported 21,600 migrants have been transported to self-declared sanctuary cities since last spring when the busing strategy began. 

The move by Abbott came as California Gov. Gavin Newsom floated the idea of the prosecution of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is also seeking the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential race. 

Last week, some migrants were flown from Florida to Sacramento, California, in a private aircraft with transportation arranged by the state of Florida, Amelia Johnson, a spokeswoman for the Florida Division of Emergency Management, said last week.

California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta is looking into potential "kidnapping" charges against DeSantis.

Newsom said he recently met with Sheriff Javier Salazar of Bexar County, Texas, to "compare notes" on possible criminal charges against DeSantis. In September 2022, 49 migrants traveled from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, a trip funded by the state of Florida. 

"I find it not only disgraceful, I think there’s grounds, not only to investigate but to potentially initiate some form of accountability," Newsom told FOX Los Angeles. "The Sheriff wants to see that from the D.A. in Texas, and we’re pursuing that with the Department of Justice in this state."

Kelly Clarkson said her kids are still "adamant about keeping the dream alive" of her getting back together with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock even after three years apart. 

"Anytime there’s mention of him maybe being with somebody else they are just really adamant about keeping that dream alive that we might still be together — and we are never around each other," the "Stronger" singer told Glennon Doyle on her podcast, "We Can do Hard Things," Wednesday. 

Clarkson said it’s hard whether you decide to stay in a difficult relationship. 

But while she felt ending her relationship with her children’s father was difficult, she revealed, "I’m a better mother, like, after [the divorce]. I’m a far better mother because I think when you’re honest with yourself, you’re able to be honest with others. But sometimes you don’t know you’re lying to yourself.

"Love is tricky. It really convinces you that you’re doing the right thing. It’s just a really hard thing when you love someone so deeply to have the right answer." 

Clarkson and producer Brandon Blackstock married in 2013, and she filed for divorce in 2020. They share two children — River Rose, 8, and Remy, 7.

The 41-year-old said she doesn’t always know how to talk to her kids about her divorce with Blackstock because they have their own "separate relationship" with their father.

"I’m like, ‘I can’t give you that whole story,'" she added. 

River Rose, 8, is "very smart" and "inquisitive" and "catches everything," Clarkson told Doyle, adding, "I cannot leave a hint of sarcasm on the floor. I can’t do anything. I have to be so on top of it." 

Doyle revealed when her daughter was young she realized she had been staying with her ex with the intention of "good mothering when really it’s bad modeling" because she wouldn’t want her relationship for her daughter.

Clarkson said even as a child she remembered seeing red flags in her own mother’s relationships. 

"Even watching my mother in two different marriages, there’s things you pick up on even as a kid that you’re like, ‘This is unhealthy,’ right?" she said. 

She added that she was on the "fence" for a long time in her marriage with Blackstock. 

"The tug of, like, loving someone so deeply and the tug of, like, really needing to love yourself as much or more, and it was like, ‘I just don’t know if I can do this while still trying to do this anymore,’" she said. 

Despite her divorce, Clarkson revealed she still believes people can change and doesn’t like to give up on people. She said this was instilled in her by her faith when she was young after a pastor became like a father figure to her when she didn’t have one.

"So, for a person that hasn’t experienced that kind of love to be shown that, and you change, so that’s why I believe in it," she explained of her optimism.

"It’s a beautiful thing to see potential in people, and it’s also a beautiful thing to like not give up."
