Bus company sued by New York City will halt transporting migrants, for now

One of the 17 bus companies sued by Mayor Eric Adams has agreed to a pause in the transport of migrants to New York City. | Spencer Platt/Getty ImagesNEW YORK — A Texas charter bus company sued by New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ administration for the cost of supporting migrants has agreed to halt shuttling people from the southern border to the city and its surrounding areas,

“New York City continues to do our part as we lead the nation in managing this national humanitarian crisis, but reckless political games from the state of Texas will not be tolerated,” Adams said in a statement. Adams filed the lawsuit in January against 17 bus companies as a means of crimping Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s plans to send migrants north. Adams isrequiring advance notice from buses and limiting allowed drop-off times for migrants at Port Authority Bus Terminal and elsewhere. As a workaround, some buses began to leave newcomers at New Jersey train stations so they could continue their journey to New York City by rail.

Texas has bused more than 106,000 migrants to so-called sanctuary cities, including New York, the spokesperson said.
