WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - D.C. is declaring a public emergency and creating a new office to provide services for migrants being bused into the District from border states such as Texas, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Thursday.
The public emergency will direct the Director of the Department of Human Services to provide temporary services and supports to migrants arriving from southern border states.
It also authorizes the City Administrator and agency directors to establish new programs and expand or modify existing programs in response to the emergency.
The new office will be called the Office of Migrant Services and $10 million has been allocated for it with the District seeking reimbursement from FEMA.
The District is putting in place a framework to meet all buses and facilitate onward travel for those who plan to move on from D.C.
The framework also includes triaging the needs of people arriving in D.C. and tending to their basic needs.
The District also plans to set up a system that is separate from the homeless services system to respond to migrants being bused into D.C.
Mayor Bowser says declaring the public emergency gives the District more flexibility on the procurement of resources to assist migrants.
Mayor Bowser's request for the National Guard to assist with the influx of migrants arriving in the District was denied twice by the Department of Defense.

Have to wonder, who’s been appointed/annointed/promoted to that “Office”, and if they even have qualifications/skills for it.
Send another 5,000, Governor Abbott.
L
Also strange you’d bring migrants to one of the most expensive areas in the country, living cost wise.
Everything is a freaking emergency these days.
NO, send another 50,000.
At least.
The democrats want open borders, then give it to them good and hard.
She should just put them on a bus and send them to NYC or Chicago.
Easy Peasy.
Oh, wait. NYC and Chicago could do the same?
I know, let’s put a cap and trade scheme in place.
Tent cities on the Capitol Lawn seem to be totally in order.
10 million in graft to line their corrupt pockets.
But, the fence.
No one other than Congress, ex-Congress and Lobbyists are allowed inside the fence.
“Tent cities on the Capitol Lawn seem to be totally in order”
I won’t be satisfied until I see ‘em in Delaware

Ain’t that America!?
Facilitate onward travel..
Somehow , I don’t think Rehoboth Beach is on the list, but the mayor would gain points if that was an onward travel destination.
Let’s get planning.
Someone, some where is gonna get PAAAAAAIIIID!

Office of Migrant Services, it’s be called BORDER PATROL!!!
That’s wonderful. Now Abbott and DeSantis can get more invaders to volunteer to get on the bus to take advantage of all the new services in DC.
No send another 50,000
“The District is putting in place a framework to meet all buses and facilitate onward travel for those who plan to move on from D.C.”
This is rich.
So the new services consist of bribing the invaders to get on another bus to somewhere else.
