NYC Mayor Sues Texas Bus Firms for $700M Over Migrant Transports
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is suing 17 Texas charter bus companies for $708 million, alleging they are complicit in Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's policy of sending migrants to NYC, which Adams calls a "reckless political ploy." The lawsuit aims to recoup costs for the city's care of the migrants. This legal action follows an executive order by Adams that imposes restrictions on how and when charter buses can drop off migrants in the city. The lawsuit accuses the bus companies of "bad faith" conduct and participating in Abbott's plan without concern for the migrants' well-being.
