New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday announced a Texas charter bus company – one of 17 defendants in a $700 million lawsuit brought by Adams against Governor Greg Abbott’s human trafficking operation to the city – has agreed to pull out of its contract, WNYW reports.
“New York City continues to do our part as we lead the nation in managing this national humanitarian crisis, but reckless political games from the state of Texas will not be tolerated. I am pleased to see that Roadrunner – one of the bus companies we sued for taking part in Texas Governor Abbott’s scheme to transport tens of thousands of migrants to our city in an attempt to overwhelm our shelter system and shift costs to New York City – has agreed to halt the bussing of migrants into and around New York City while the lawsuit proceeds,” said Adams in a statement.
