Doug Ducey announced plans to send busloads of migrants to Washington, D.C., in response to President Joe Biden\u2019s decision to lift a pandemic-era emergency health order that restricted migrant entry numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then the city estimates that nearly 200 buses have arrived, delivering more than 4,000 migrants to Union Station, often with no resources and no clue what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A coalition of local charitable groups has been working to feed and shelter the migrants, aided by a $1 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. But organizers have been warning that both their resources and personnel were nearing exhaustion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis reliance on NGOs is not working and is unsustainable \u2014 they are overwhelmed and underfunded,\u201d Bowser said in her letter. She has repeatedly stated that the influx was stressing her government\u2019s ability to care for its own homeless residents and required intervention from Biden\u2019s government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe know we have a federal issue that demands a federal response,\u201d Bowser said at a July 18 press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In her letter, Bowser harshly criticizes Abbott and Ducey, accusing them of \u201ccruel political gamesmanship\u201d and saying the pair had \u201cdecided to use desperate people to score political points.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bowser <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2021\/12\/30\/the-pentagon-has-streamlined-the-process-for-sending-national-guard-troops-into-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\">does not have the authority to personally order a National Guard deployment<\/a>, an issue that has become emotionally charged in recent years as a symbol of the district\u2019s entrenched status as less than a state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her limited authority played a role in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2021\/01\/07\/this-is-why-the-national-guard-didnt-respond-to-the-attack-on-the-capitol\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol building<\/a> by supporters of former President Donald Trump. When it became clear that the U.S. Capitol Police were overmatched by the crowds, Bowser couldn\u2019t immediately deploy the district guard. Instead, crucial time was lost while the request was considered inside the Pentagon, and protesters rampaged through the building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mayor Muriel
