Eric Adams has taken legal action against a Texas bus company, preventing further transportation of immigrants, through a $700 million lawsuit
A Victory for New York: Roadrunner Charters Halts Immigrant Transport
Mayor Eric Adams secured a significant win for New York City as Roadrunner Charters, a key player in Governor Greg Abbott’s immigrant relocation initiative, agreed to cease transporting immigrants to the city. This decision comes after a lawsuit filed by Adams against the Texas-based bus company.
“The Defendant Roadrunner Charters Inc. will refrain forthwith from transporting individuals known as migrants from Texas to New York City, and/or from Texas to the vicinity of New York City,”
Roadrunner Charters Takes a Stand
On Wednesday, Roadrunner Charters took a pivotal stance by signing a stipulation letter, indicating their commitment to discontinue ferrying immigrants into New York City. This move marks a significant shift in the ongoing legal battle initiated by Mayor Adams against seventeen companies, including Roadrunner Charters, seeking $708 million in damages. The core allegation revolves around the violation of a state law that prohibits bringing individuals to New York for state aid dependency without appropriate arrangements.
Celebrating Progress
Mayor Adams lauded Roadrunner Charters’ decision and urged other bus companies involved in similar activities to follow suit. In a statement, he expressed his satisfaction with Roadrunner’s compliance and called for collective action from all implicated parties.
“I am pleased to see that Roadrunner has agreed to halt the bussing of migrants into and around New York City while the lawsuit proceeds,”
Adams emphasized the importance of preventing an overwhelming influx of migrants that could strain the city’s resources and infrastructure. He highlighted the collaborative responsibility of all bus companies embroiled in the lawsuit to cease their involvement in the controversial transportation scheme orchestrated by Governor Abbott.
