Bus full of migrants reluctantly arrive at Floyd Bennett Field
It’s the end of the line for Mayor Eric Adams ’ $700 million lawsuit against bus companies that have hauled more than 33,000 migrants to the Big Apple, according to a Manhattan judge who denied the city’s request for a preliminary injunction and called the case “dubious at best.”against 17 bus companies that ferried folks from Texas to New York City, was deemed “unconstitutional” by Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Mary Rosado.
Chief legal counsel to the mayor and City Hall Lisa Zornberg said in a Tuesday press conference that they respect the court’s ruling. Rosado’s decision makes clear that the law was already deemed unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court in a 1941 ruling against an “essentially identical” California law.
In fact, the judge wrote that what the Adams administration was seeking would bring about an unconstitutional “chilling” effect on interstate travel, making movement “dependent on economic status,” which could result in “a regime of balkanization with each state setting forth a patchwork of inconsistent criteria for crossing state lines.
