New York officials say Texas Governor Greg Abbott is putting barcodes on the migrants his state is bussing to the city
They say the move is designed to intimidate, as the immigration feud in America only worsens.
Videos of migrants arriving in New York wearing wristbands with barcodes have been widely shared online.
The city’s Immigration Commissioner says Abbott is treating these people as less than human, as if they were cattle.
This all follows the Biden administration revoking a Trump-era policy preventing migrants seeking asylum from entering the U.S. during the Covid pandemic.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is requesting federal assistance, while also slamming Governor Abbott, saying he should be voted out of office in November’s midterms.
