New York City announces lawsuit against bus companies sending migrants to city, seeks $708 million

New York City is suing 17 charter bus companies for transporting migrants from Texas to the city without paying for their continued care, in violation of state law. The city is seeking $708 million in damages to cover the cost of caring for the estimated 33,000 migrants.
The lawsuit claims that the bus companies participated in a "bad faith" relocation plan and violated state restrictions on abandoning "needy persons" in New York. They allegedly profited from transporting migrants to various cities, including New York City.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott argues that the lawsuit is baseless, stating that the migrants traveled voluntarily with authorization from the Biden administration. He warned that Mayor Adams may be held legally accountable for violating migrants' constitutional authority to travel across the country.
