Texas Bus Company Halts Migrant Transport to NYC Amid Lawsuit

Mayor Eric Adams secures agreement from Roadrunner Charters, calls for other companies to follow suit in lawsuit seeking $708 million.

A Texas bus company, Roadrunner Charters, has agreed to stop transporting migrants to New York City amid a lawsuit from Mayor Eric Adams.
The lawsuit, seeking $708 million in damages, was filed against 17 companies for violating New York state law by not supporting migrants financially upon arrival.
Mayor Adams celebrated the agreement, urging other companies involved to follow Roadrunner Charters' lead and halt migrant transportation.
The legal action is part of New York City's response to Texas' efforts to send migrants to Democratic-run cities, challenging the city's ability to manage its shelter system.
New York City projects migrant-related costs to reach $10 billion by 2025, as the city continues to shelter about 65,000 migrants.
