In a stunning and unexpected move to stop Texas Gov. Greg Abbott from shipping busloads of asylum seekers to New York City, Mayor Eric Adams has filed a lawsuit against 17 charter bus companies used by the Lone Star State.
He wants the bus companies to reimburse the city for the hundreds of millions of dollars it’s cost to shelter them.
Just call it the Empire State strikes back, with a bold counter punch to Abbott.
“New York City has and will always do our part to manage this humanitarian crisis, but we cannot bear the cost of reckless political ploys from the state of Texas, alone,” Adams said.
Make no mistake, this busing is kidnapping and human trafficking. A civil case is not enough.
I cannot fathom how this isn’t a case in federal court RIGHT NOW with the principles (DeSantis/Abbot) at the defense table. Kidnapping, human trafficking, misuse of state funds, unlawful fucking everything
It’s crazy, there is so much institutional resistance to applying the law to our ruling class.
