New York City Mayor Eric Adams took a new measure in his quest to stem the amount of migrants arriving in the state from Texas, sent by the Greg Abbott administration as part of his "Lone Star" operation: the city filed lawsuits against 17 charter bus companies used by Texas to send migrants there.
Concretely, the Adams administration claims the companies violate New York state law by taking migrants to the city but not paying for their care after they leave. It is seeking $708 million in compensation. "Today's lawsuit should serve as a warning to all those who break the law in this way," Adams said in a press release.
