(ZEROHEDGE) – New York City is suing more than a dozen charter bus and transportation companies involved in busing migrants to the self-proclaimed 'sanctuary' for migrants that now wants nothing to do with them.
"New York City has and will always do our part to manage this humanitarian crisis, but we cannot bear the costs of reckless political ploys from the state of Texas alone," said NYC Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday. "Today, we are taking legal action against 17 companies that have taken part in Texas Governor Abbott’s scheme to transport tens of thousands of migrants to New York City in an attempt to overwhelm our social services system."
According to the lawsuit, the companies have violated New York state law by failing to pay for the cost of caring for migrants, which the city says amounts to $708 million in damages for what's already been spent caring for them. The filing cites New York law that requires anyone who brings a "needy person" from out of state for the purposes of making them the state's problem, either take them out of the state or support them.
