New York City Mayor Eric Adams has filed a lawsuit against 17 transportation companies for allegedly carrying out a plan by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to send migrants to New York City and make the city pay for their care.
The city is seeking over $700 million in damages from these companies, citing the costs of caring for and sheltering the migrants.
Adams has been vocal about the strain that the arrival of migrants has put on New York City's resources, estimating that sheltering them will cost $12 billion over three years.
