The state of Texas has spent more than $221 million in taxpayer funds to transport nearly 120,000 migrants to six “sanctuary” cities far north of the southern border, the Washington Examiner has learned.

A public information request filed to the Texas Division of Emergency Management showed that the state made more than 750 payments totaling $221,705,637 to transportation companies since the start of operations in April 2022 and August 2024.
