US EditionTexas Gov. Abbott says he’ll ‘impose 100% tariff’ on New Yorkers who move in
Abbott's 100% tariff threat targets New Yorkers moving post-election; legal experts call it unconstitutional and unenforceable, with over 765,000 reportedly considering relocation, Daily Mail says.
- On November 3, 2025, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott posted on X that he would impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from New York City the night before the mayoral election.
- Mamdani's progressive platform prompted speculation that 765,000 New York City residents might relocate if Zohran Mamdani won, prompting Greg Abbott's tariff remark on Monday.
- Legal experts noted a governor cannot lawfully impose such a tariff as it violates the Commerce Clause and Privileges and Immunities Clause, while economists called enforcement legally and practically impossible.
- The post went viral, quickly drawing widespread social media engagement, and sources later told FOX Digital Greg Abbott meant it as a joke with no follow-ups in 26 hours.
- Observers characterized Greg Abbott's 100% tariff threat as political theater playing on migration fears, while political commentators linked it to President Donald Trump's warnings and the broader partisan debate over migration and state power.
