  <p>Knowing San Antonio bus routes were imminently closing due to storms, ICE officials&nbsp;left&nbsp;50 immigrant women and children at a bus station in the face of Hurricane Harvey on Friday.</p>  <p>As <a href="https://therivardreport.com/stranded-immigrants-find-shelter-from-hurricane-harvey/" target="_blank">first reported</a>&nbsp;by local San Antonio outlet&nbsp;Rivard Report, Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-San Antonio) knew of the bus line closures and requested that ICE not drop immigrants&nbsp;at the bus station. ICE officials assured him that all families would be dropped off in time to make their connections.&nbsp;</p>  <p>The women and children, fleeing violence in Central America, were asylum seekers and had been cleared to&nbsp;travel to meet families throughout the United States. Many had no money, and spoke no English.</p>

Ultimately, ICE kept two additional families in custody since their bus trip had been cancelled.”</p>  	<p>The spokesperson declined to answer whether buses were running when the families were dropped off.</p> </blockquote>  <p>A local church agreed to shelter the families, along with nearly 100 others. As of Sunday, many families were able to depart for their destinations. Six families remained at the church.</p>  <p>Read more <a href="https://therivardreport.com/stranded-immigrants-find-shelter-from-hurricane-harvey/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
