NYC SUES TEXAS CHARTER BUS COMPANIES FOR $700 MILLION COST OF CARING FOR
MIGRANTS


THE LAWSUIT IS INTENDED TO COVER PAST SHELTER, FOOD, AND HEALTH CARE COSTS FOR
MIGRANTS TRANSPORTED FROM TEXAS, AS WELL AS FUTURE COSTS OF MIGRANTS, ACCORDING
TO MAYOR ERIC ADAMS' OFFICE.

NBC Universal, Inc.
Four migrant buses arrived at the Secaucus train station on Saturday before the
migrants onboard took trains into New York City, according to Secaucus Mayor
Michael Gonnelli. News 4’s Andrew Siff reports.

New York City is seeking more than $700 million from Texas charter bus companies
to cover the cost of housing and caring for migrants who have been transported
to the city, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday.

The lawsuit is intended to cover past shelter, food, and health care costs for
migrants transported from Texas, as well as future costs of migrants already
here and migrants who may be transported in the future, according to the mayor's
office. The city said more than 33,600 migrants have already been transported to
NYC from Texas.

The Adams administration has been trying to navigate ways to stem the tide of
buses bringing migrants to the city and the mayor said he hopes the lawsuit
serves as a warning for future transports.

"New York City has and will always do our part to manage this humanitarian
crisis, but we cannot bear the costs of reckless political ploys from the state
of Texas alone," Adams said in a statement. "Today, we are taking legal action
against 17 companies that have taken part in Texas Governor Abbott’s scheme to
transport tens of thousands of migrants to New York City in an attempt to
overwhelm our social services system."

Gov. Abbott said Adams is "interfering" with the migrants' "constitutional
authority" to travel.

"This lawsuit is baseless and deserves to be sanctioned. It's clear that Mayor
Adams knows nothing about the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution, or about
the constitutional right to travel that has been recognized by the U.S. Supreme
Court. Every migrant bused or flown to New York City did so voluntarily, after
having been authorized by the Biden Administration to remain in the United
States," Abbott said in a statement.

In December, Adams announced an executive order requiring charter buses to only
drop off migrants between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and noon on weekdays, and only
at a specific location -- West 41st Street by the Port Authority Bus Terminal --
or face fines. The order also required a notice period of 32 hours before
arriving in the city.

> Texas Gov. Greg Abbott


Mayor Adams' executive order restricting the arrival of more migrant buses take
effect this weekend. News 4's Melissa Colorado reports. 

In order to "thwart" the order and take advantage of a "loophole," charter buses
were dropping off migrants in New Jersey cities before they boarded a train to
New York, according to the mayor of Secaucus.

A spokesperson for New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said the administration is
working with federal and local partners, including New York City.

"Our Administration has tracked the recent arrival of a handful buses of migrant
families at various NJ TRANSIT train stations," said Tyler Jones, deputy press
secretary for Murphy, in a statement. "New Jersey is primarily being used as a
transit point for these families — all or nearly all of them continued with
their travels en route to their final destination of New York City."

In the lawsuit, the city accuses the bus companies of acting in "bad faith" by
profiting off bringing migrants to the city. The city said many of the companies
being targeted in the lawsuit "are the same companies that are now evading
compliance with the executive order by busing migrants to New Jersey train
stations."

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she supports NYC's lawsuit.

NBC New York has reached out to the bus companies named in the lawsuit for any
comment.
