Mayor Adams announces executive order aimed at restricting Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s migrant busing
Adams said the order mandates any buses carrying migrants arrive in the city only between 8:30 a.m. and noon on weekdays. The buses’ arrival must also be announced 32 hours in advance, he said. The order specifically applies to buses contracted by the state of Texas — whose governor Adams routinely blames for sending asylum seekers into the five boroughs.

The mayor’s lawsuit accuses 17 bus companies of violating state law by transporting more than 33,000 people to the city as part of a campaign by Texas’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, to expel people who cross the US-Mexico border without authorization.
