A federal judge on Tuesday shut down attempts by two New York counties to halt the transportation of hundreds of migrants from an overwhelmed New York City.
The judge found convincing the plaintiffs' arguments that migrants were being discriminated against on the basis of national origin, alienage and race, which violates the equal protection clause under the Fourteenth Amendment.
The controversy is one of a number that arose between cities and states across the country as they seek to shift migrants to different jurisdictions. New York City’s migrant crisis was exacerbated by's program to bus migrants to sanctuary cities including NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
Cities in Texas have also bussed migrants to cities deeper into the interior. It was revealed this week that Florida officials, who have previously sent migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, have also been flying migrants to California.
