Meanwhile, the day after the debacle of Danna's health emergency, Dominick Mireles, Philadelphia's emergency management director, fired off a stern letter to Nim Kidd, the chief of the Texas division of emergency management, a copy of which has been seen by the Guardian.
Mireles wrote "to request that you uphold a core tenet of our profession: collaboration".
It went on: "Your bus of asylum seekers that arrived yesterday took the city of Philadelphia and its partners by surprise. As you may have heard, a child required emergency medical care upon arrival."
The letter had a list of measures expected by the Philadelphia authorities, including 72 hours notice prior to buses arriving, health screening, notification of passengers with disabilities or special needs, families being kept together and buses reporting to a "safe and secure location of choice, not a street corner"…
