"New Jersey Train Stations Become Flashpoint for Migrant Drop-offs Amid NYC Restrictions"

TL;DR Summary
New Jersey train stations in Edison, Fanwood, Trenton, and Secaucus became the unexpected drop-off points for migrants being bussed from Texas to New York City, in an attempt to circumvent NYC's new bussing regulations. This sparked controversy, with Edison's mayor openly rejecting the migrants, threatening to send them back to the border, despite their legal status to be in the U.S. Meanwhile, advocates like Seth Kaper-Dale argue for the need to have systems in place to support incoming immigrants, highlighting New Jersey's history as a state with a high intake of immigrants.
