   Immigrants on a Texas bus bound for the Big Apple — which was   
   supposed to go to several cities along the way to let passengers   
   off — threatened to call cops when the driver said they wouldn’t   
   be stopping in Tennessee, The Post has learned.   
      
   The charter bus is part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s border   
   initiative.   
      
   The Post was in Del Rio, Texas, Friday morning as immigrants   
   boarded the bus which was supposed to stop in Chattanooga,   
   Tennessee, and Washington, D.C., before arriving at its final   
   destination in New York City.   
      
   About 40 immigrants, a majority of the passengers, were supposed   
   to get off in Chattanooga, they said.   
      
   By early Saturday, the bus driver told the asylum-seekers they   
   would not be stopping in Chattanooga.   
      
   The unexpected change came after local authorities intercepted a   
   Texas to DC bus in Georgia on Thursday, and threatened to arrest   
   those aboard, according to several of the immigrants.   
      
   The sheriff in Dade County, Georgia, intercepted that vehicle   
   and told those aboard to leave his county, a deputy from the   
   department told FOX News.   
      
   Some of the passengers on the New York-bound bus became upset   
   Saturday when the driver announced the change in itinerary,   
   pleading for hours to make the planned stop. Many had plans to   
   meet relatives or travel from Chattanooga.   
      
   “Two Cubans started to make a commotion. They were saying they   
   needed to be let off the bus, over and over and over again and   
   called the police,” said Jose, an immigrant on the bus who asked   
   The Post not to use his last name for fear of retribution.   
      
   “The buses are supposed to be voluntary. That’s what we were   
   told when we got on,” said Jose.   
      
   The immigrants, who are seeking asylum, are not considered   
   illegal and have authorization to travel in the US. The state of   
   Texas gave them envelopes with what bus stop they were supposed   
   to get off at.   
      
   Ultimately, they said, the bus did stop in Chattanooga.   
      
   “We were dropped off at park about 45 minutes away from the   
   airport and police were waiting for us there. They told us to   
   stay at the park for our protection. We waited there until an   
   Uber came to pick us up and took us to the airport,” said Jose.   
      
   The Texas Governor’s Office first denied there was a problem and   
   later referred The Post to the Texas Department of Emergency   
   Management for comment. The department did not immediately   
   respond to a request for comment.   
      
   Jose and dozens of other immigrants were able to make their way   
   to the Chattanooga airport, leaving only about five passengers   
   on the New York-bound bus.   
      
   “I feel like they lied to us about what was going to happen on   
   the bus. If the buses are supposed to be voluntary, then they   
   should stick to that,” Jose said.
