New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams said Sunday the city may pursue legal challenges against Texas and Gov. Greg Abbott after more migrant buses arrived from the Lone Star State.
Mayor Eric Adams said Sunday that the city is considering taking legal action against Texas over the busloads of migrants sent from the Lone Star State to the Big Apple.the Democrat told CBS 2."We believe there are some options we have, because when you involuntarily place someone on a bus, we believe that actually skates the law… We're not leaving any stones unturned to make sure that New Yorkers are [not] being treated in an unfair way.
"We're looking at that as a temporary measure, not a permanent measure. A permanent measure is get people into housing," he said in the CBS 2 interview."We have to find temporary measures to address this issue." City Hall officials called Abbott’s office and asked to coordinate the arrival of buses to allow time to contact family members and sponsors of new arrivals and to prepare shelter space."They took the call, stated that they would coordinate," he said on ABC's"This Week."
Abbott has said Texas will continue sending buses of migrants to sanctuary cities like New York City, Washington, D.C. and Chicago until the federal government secures the southern border.
