The administration of New York City Mayor Eric Adams filed a lawsuit last Thursday, January 4, against 17 charter bus companies that have been transporting migrants from Texas
The administration of New York City Mayor Eric Adams filed a lawsuit last Thursday, January 4, against 17 charter bus companies that have been transporting migrants from Texas to the city for almost two years, and demands 708 million to cover city expenses.
The lawsuit comes after last Wednesday. The mayor warned that they are assessing all options to counter the actions of bus companies that lmigrants are being transported to the neighboring state of New Jersey so that from there they would go to New York and thus evade Adams’ executive order, which sets the exact times and days for charter trips for migrants.
Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent several 33,600 migrants have arrived in New York over the past 20 months. without the companies transporting them paying the cost of the service, Adams said in a statement.
“Today, our administration filed a lawsuit against 17 companies that participated in Governor Abbott’s plan to transport tens of thousands of immigrants to the city in an attempt to undermine our social service system,” he said in a video accompanying the text.
The Democratic mayor further reiterated that the city can no longer “bear the costs of the reckless political ploys of the state of Texas.”

Demand New York is trying to recoup money invested in housingfood and education for children and other assistance provided to them, as well as the money the city will spend on the more than 65,000 immigrants in its care and the investments it will make in others transferred from Texas in the future, such as part of the Plan Abbott.
Adams explained that the transportation companies are violating the state’s Human Services Act, which states that companies that knowingly transport people in need of shelter and services to the city as part of an unscrupulous plan must pay those costs.
“The law is clear: By participating in this reckless scheme, these bus companies are accepting responsibility for these costs,” said city Law Director Lisa Zornberg.
The mayor warned several times that the arrival of more 160 thousand immigrants from April 2022, of which 68,000 are under the city’s care, has led to a humanitarian and financial crisis that will cost $12 billion by mid-2025.
The constant flow of immigrants, both sent from Texas and those arriving independently from other states, forced the city to rent hotels for use as shelters, set up tents, and take measures such as limiting the time spent in shelters (both for singles and families with children) . ) and finally set specific days and times for bus arrivals.

Spring 2022 Abbott began sending busloads of immigrants to cities with Democratic mayorsFirst to Washington and then to New York in what the Republican says is a move to spread the immigration burden his state faces due to President Joe Biden’s administration policies.
He also sent immigrants to Boston (Massachusetts), Denver (Colorado), Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), and Los Angeles (California).
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, also a Democrat, said that “it is time for the companies that enable their actions to take responsibility for their role in this ongoing crisis,” making it clear that supports the mayor’s initiative.
