Episode notes

Migrants are responsible for keeping the courts updated about where they're moving. The worst case scenario is if somebody who is coming in this bus has had originally a court hearing in Houston and ends up being in New York City. If they don't tell the courts that they have moved from Texas to the East Coast, they might still be expected in a Texas court. And it's on them to arrange for a hearing that's somewhere closer.

Texas and Arizona's governors are giving migrants bus tickets to the capital. The mayor of Washington, DC, says it’s causing a humanitarian crisis in the city — and that the White House isn’t helping.

This episode was reported and produced by Haleema Shah, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Victoria Dominguez and Serena Solin, engineered by Efim Shapiro and Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
