"New Jersey Becomes Unintended Hub for Migrants Amidst Stricter NYC and Chicago Policies"

NYC Mayor Eric Adams has called on nearby cities to implement executive orders to limit the influx of migrant buses, similar to the one he issued, in an effort to manage the strain on the city's shelter system and budget. Despite the order, which requires advance notice and limits on arrivals, Texas Governor Greg Abbott continues to send migrants to Democratic-led cities to protest President Biden's border policies. Adams criticizes Abbott's actions as disruptive and using people as pawns, while city officials seek federal assistance and challenge the city's right-to-shelter laws in court. Abbott defends his policies on social media, emphasizing the burden on Texas border towns and vowing to continue until federal policies change.
