Cybersecdn- New York City has taken a bold step in addressing the influx of migrants, predominantly driven by the immigration policies of Texas Governor Greg Abbott. In a significant legal move, the city has filed a lawsuit against 17 bus and transportation companies that have been contracted by the state of Texas for transporting migrants to New York City.
The lawsuit, lodged in the New York State Supreme Court, seeks $708 million in damages, representing the substantial costs incurred by the city in providing shelter and accommodation to these migrants. Mayor Eric Adams, in a video announcement, criticized Governor Abbott’s approach, labeling it as a “reckless political ploy” and emphasizing the city’s commitment to managing the humanitarian crisis.
