Even though Washington, D.C. calls itself a “sanctuary city,” Mayor Muriel Bowser is sending illegals away.
Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a public emergency for the metro area Thursday, as a countermeasure to the governors of Arizona and Texas busing migrants to the nation’s capital.

With the emergency declaration, Bowser has the power to establish a new department — the Office of Migrant Services — which can provide up to $10 million worth of services to incoming migrants, according to Politico.
“We are staying true to our D.C. values and building a system that will support a compassionate, consistent, and well-coordinated response,” Bowser said in a statement.

Bowser also said her office would “seek reimbursement from the federal government” for investing the $10 million in migrant services.
As part of this process, D.C. officials will reportedly help displaced migrants move to destinations outside the metro area. Bowser’s office will also create a separate system to coordinate Washington’s response, according to the statement.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, and Mayor Bowser for D.C. — all Democrats — each condemned the moves of the Texas and Arizona governors, characterizing it as a “political stunt.”
