"NYC Seeks $700M in Lawsuit Against Bus Firms for Migrant Transport Costs"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Fox News
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has filed a lawsuit against several charter bus companies for their role in transporting migrants to New York City as part of Texas Governor Greg Abbott's initiative. The city is seeking $708 million in damages for the costs incurred in caring for the migrants. The lawsuit alleges that the companies violated New York state law by bringing in individuals who become a public charge. Mayor Adams has also implemented an executive order to regulate the arrival of migrant buses, while Texas Governor Abbott defends the transportation as a relief for overwhelmed Texas border towns and criticizes the lawsuit as baseless.
