NYC Sues Texas Bus Firms for $708M Over Migrant Transports
TL;DR Summary
New York City is suing 17 charter bus companies for $708 million, the cost incurred for housing and providing services to over 33,000 migrants sent from Texas under Operation Lone Star. Mayor Eric Adams claims the companies violated a state law by transporting individuals likely to need government assistance without covering their expenses. The lawsuit is a response to what is seen as a political move by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has been criticized for using migrants as political pawns. The legal action coincides with federal opposition to Texas's immigration enforcement efforts, including a DOJ lawsuit against a new Texas state immigration law.
