NYC Sues Texas Bus Firms for Migrant Transports, Seeks $700M Amid Interstate Tensions

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has responded to New York City Mayor Eric Adams' lawsuit against bus companies transporting migrants, calling the lawsuit "baseless" and a potential violation of the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause and the constitutional right to travel. Abbott asserts that the migrants transported to New York City did so voluntarily and were authorized by the federal government to remain in the U.S., suggesting that Mayor Adams could face legal consequences for the lawsuit.
