Never Mind Mayor Adams’ Latest Blow On Migrants — It’s Going to Take New WH Leadership to Help NYC; New York Judge Rules Against NYC Mayor’s Challenge to Texas’ Illegal Alien Busing

Never mind Mayor Adams’ latest blow on migrants — it’s going to take new WH leadership to help NYC:

The state Supreme Court just nixed one of Mayor Adams’ (few) attempts to stem the migrant influx. It’s another reminder that the only real fix can come from a change in White House policy — or its occupant.

In January, Team Adams sued 17 bus companies for hauling migrants from Texas to New York, claiming they owed the city $708 million under Section 149 of the New York Social Services Law.

That law imposes a $100 fine for knowingly bringing “a needy person into the state with the intent of making them a public charge” and requires perpetrators to remove the person and support them at their own expense.

On Tuesday, a judge sided with the New York Civil Liberties Union, which argued that Section 149 violated migrants’ constitutional right to interstate travel.

(That illegal migrants have a right to travel within the country when they don’t even have a right to be here in the first place is a bit of a head-scratcher.)

City Hall has accepted the decision, while claiming that the stall during the lawsuit provided some relief to the constant flow of migrants into the city.

Alas, the short-lived relief won’t be nearly enough to restore normalcy in the city and fix a crisis set to cost New Yorkers billions. —>READ MORE HERE

New York Judge Rules Against NYC Mayor’s Challenge to Texas’ Illegal Alien Busing:

Gov. Greg Abbott celebrated the ruling on social media, calling it another “win” for Texas.

New York Supreme Court Justice Mary V. Rosado ruled against New York City’s efforts to block bus companies from transporting illegal aliens into the city from Texas.

In her deliberations, Rosado concluded that the case was “essentially identical” to one that the U.S. Supreme Court struck down back in 1941.

“The mass migration of people within the country, which the commissioner seeks to chill or prevent, is an issue reserved by the Constitution for Congress, lest the United States fall to a regime of Balkanization with each state setting fort[h] a patchwork of inconsistent criteria for crossing state lines,” Rosado said.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams had previously requested a preliminary injunction to block bus companies based in Texas from transporting illegal aliens to the city. According to CBS News, the New York Civil Liberties Union posited that the mayor’s actions were unconstitutional. The court subsequently rejected the mayor’s request.

Transporting illegal aliens out of Texas to “sanctuary cities” is part of Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star—Texas’ initiative to strengthen border security, block the smuggling of drugs and firearms, and put an end to transnational criminal activity at ports of entry.

In January, Adams sued 17 Texas-based charter bus companies to cover all expenses the city incurred, estimated to be over $700 million, as a result of the relocation of illegal aliens. —>READ MORE HERE
