New York City Mayor Eric Adams has filed a lawsuit seeking more than $700m from 17 transport companies that have bussed migrants from Texas to New York City, claiming they violated New York Social Services Law.
In the filing, submitted to the New York Supreme Court on Thursday, Mr Adams claimed the bus companies “knowingly” brought migrants in need of care from Texas to New York City which violates a section of the law that prohibits “making [a needy person] a public charge”.
