Mayor Bowser replied: "This is a significant issue. We have called on the federal government to work across state lines to prevent people from getting tricked into getting on buses."

"We think they're largely asylum seekers who are going to final destinations that are not Washington DC I worked with the White House to make sure that FEMA provided a grant to a local organization that is providing services to folks, but I fear that they're being tricked into nationwide bus trips when their final destinations are places all over the United States of America," Mayor Bowser explained to the CBS host.
