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.

NYC Files $708M Lawsuit Against Texas Bus Firms for Migrant Transports

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has filed a lawsuit against 17 charter bus companies for their role in transporting migrants from Texas to NYC, a move orchestrated by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The city is seeking $708 million in damages to cover the costs of sheltering and providing services to over 33,000 migrants since spring 2022. The lawsuit alleges that the bus companies violated New York's Social Services Law by knowingly bringing needy individuals into the state, making them a public charge, and not covering the expenses as required by law.
