New York City has filed a lawsuit against 17 charter bus companies that transported migrants from Texas, seeking $708 million in reimbursement for the costs incurred in caring for over 33,600 people sent from Texas. The program to relocate migrants out of Texas to cities like New York was initiated by Texas Governor Greg Abbott in 2022. New York Mayor Eric Adams criticized Abbott's actions and stated that the city cannot bear the financial burden alone. Abbott called the lawsuit baseless and argued that the migrants traveled voluntarily with authorization from the Biden Administration. The lawsuit cites a New York law penalizing those who bring needy individuals from out of state to become a public charge. The city is seeking a court order to make the bus companies pay for the migrants' care. The influx of migrants is straining New York City's finances and posing challenges for Mayor Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul. Since April 2021, the city has spent approximately $3.5 billion on shelter and services for over 164,500 individuals. [Extracted from the article]
