The bus is set to leave Del Rio, TX Saturday, Nov. 12 and arrive sometime Monday or Tuesday, Philadelphia officials said.
City officials learned about the arrival from a "community partner," as opposed to officials in Texas, multiple outlets are reporting.
Infants and Spanish-speaking individuals from South American countries were among the migrants on the bus, sources tell Fox29.
The mayor's office issued a statement that reads, in part:
"City agencies, OEM mass care partners, immigrant leaders and immigrant-serving nonprofits stand ready to welcome, assist, and provide support to these individuals and their families if and when the bus arrives. We are a proud welcoming city and strongly believe that all people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Our diversity is our strength.
