New York, NY—Today, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a $700 million lawsuit against 17 charter bus companies for transporting asylum seekers from Texas to New York.
Murad Awawdeh, Executive Director, New York Immigration Coalition:
“For almost two years, Mayor Adams has treated the arrival of asylum seekers as an emergency, trying everything he can to dissuade asylum seekers from coming to New York rather than developing an efficient and thoughtful process to welcome them.
