NYC Mayor Adams Sues Bus Companies Over Migrant Transport, Texas Governor Points to Biden
Adams seeks $708 million in damages for the transport of over 33,000 migrants, while Abbott argues Biden's policies are the root cause of the migrant influx.
- New York City Mayor Eric Adams has filed a lawsuit against 17 bus companies, seeking $708 million in damages for transporting more than 33,000 migrants from Texas to New York City.
- Adams accuses the bus companies of acting in bad faith and profiting from contracts with the state of Texas, while failing to cover the cost of caring for the migrants once they arrived in New York.
- Texas Governor Greg Abbott has responded by suggesting that Adams should be suing President Biden, not the bus companies, as it is Biden's policies that are causing the influx of migrants.
- Abbott has defended his state's actions, stating that all migrants transported to New York were already authorized by the Biden administration to be within the United States legally.
- The Adams administration has reportedly spent about $3.5 billion so far on the migrant crisis and projects to spend $12 billion in total by the end of 2025's fiscal year.
