PHILADELPHIA, (Reuters) -Philadelphia emergency personnel took a child to hospital on Wednesday from a bus that had just arrived carrying migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border, and city officials chastised Texas Governor Greg Abbott for sending the bus without coordinating it in advance.

The 10-year-old girl was taken to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for dehydration and a high fever, according to Democratic City Council Member Helen Gym, who was among the officials to greet the bus.
