NJ Governor Murphy Requests 32-Hour Notice from Migrant Transport Buses

Over 1,800 Migrants Dropped Off in New Jersey Since December 31, Most Bound for New York City

  • New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has asked bus companies transporting migrants to the state to provide a 32-hour notice, following a similar executive order issued by New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
  • Since December 31, over 1,800 migrants have been dropped off in New Jersey, with most intending to travel to New York City.
  • The migrants are being transported by buses reportedly commissioned by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is said to be funding the transportation with taxpayer funds.
  • Murphy's letter to the bus companies does not include any penalties for non-compliance, but requests specifics on the number of people being transported and their intended drop-off locations.
  • New York City has received approximately 164,000 migrants since the spring of 2022, with over 62,000 still in city care.
