NYC Files $700M Lawsuit Against Bus Companies for Migrant Transports from Texas

New York City has filed a lawsuit against 17 charter bus companies, seeking $708 million in damages for transporting over 33,600 asylum seekers from Texas to the city since 2022. The city alleges these companies acted in bad faith, causing a financial burden on local resources by dropping off migrants without compliance with new regulations. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has called the lawsuit baseless, arguing that the migrants traveled voluntarily and that the city's actions may violate constitutional rights. The lawsuit cites a state law requiring those who bring needy persons into New York to support them or face legal consequences.
