NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams issued an executive order Wednesday to restrict the flow of migrant charter buses sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to New York City.
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 announcement came during a joint briefing with the mayors of Chicago and Denver. The three cities have formed a coalition to press the White House and federal government for more migrant aid as each metropolis grapples with the economic and governmental burden of housing, feeding and educating tens of thousands of migrants.
Adams administration officials said Tuesday that the city is receiving nearly 4,000 migrants each week. In total, more than 161,000 migrants have entered New York City since the crisis began in 2022, and 68,000 remain in the city’s care.
“I’m proud to be here with my fellow mayors to call on the federal government to do their part with one voice and to tell Texas Governor Abbott to stop the games and use of migrants as potential as political pawns,” Adams said during the Wednesday announcement. “We cannot allow buses with people needing our help to arrive without warning at any hour of day and night.”
“This not only prevents us from providing assistance in an orderly way, it puts those who have already suffered so much in danger,” he added.
The executive order came the same day five buses arrived in New York City at around 1 a.m., forcing officials to scramble as they received the migrants who had begun their journey with a chartered flight from El Paso. Last week, a record 14 buses arrived from Texas in a single night, Adams said.
Adams said violating his order would result in a misdemeanor punishable by fines or the impounding of charter buses. He also raised the possibility his administration would file lawsuits against violators.
Adams is not the first mayor of the coalition to attempt to restrict the arrival of migrants via chartered buses. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson devised a similar order in November, and has already issued at least 96 citations to bus companies and impounded at least one bus. But bus companies were able to circumvent the Chicago order by dropping off migrants in far-flung suburbs.
It was unclear if Mayor Adams will try to proactively prevent the same from happening in New York.
While both Adams and Johnson have referred to Abbott’s transporting of migrants as “cruel,” New York City has also paid to transport asylum seekers to destinations outside the city. Between March and November, the city said it spent about $4.6 million to purchase more than 19,300 plane tickets for migrants seeking travel to other cities.
In both Texas and New York, local governments say the migrants are traveling willingly.
In response to a question about how Abbott’s actions differ from those of Adams, who is offering some migrants tickets out of the city, a spokesperson responded: “We are not chartering planes or busses and shipping migrants to other cities with little access to food, water and bathrooms on the journey. Our reticketing process is dedicated to getting migrants where they want to go.”

Multi-car crash on Staten Island sends 9 to hospital, including 4 kids, leaves police car in flames

Police Car Crash
By Kayla Simas | KSimas@siadvance.com
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Dongan Hills multi-car collision involving an NYPD vehicle Saturday evening sent nine people to an area hospital, including two injured officers, according to a spokesperson for the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner for Public Information.
The incident occurred at 7:20 p.m. on Richmond Road, near Hunton Street. A police car went ablaze as a result of the crash and had to be extinguished by emergency responders. The badly damaged vehicle was surrounded by shattered glass.
Earlier in the evening, a spokesperson described the officers’ injuries as minor; a source on the scene indicated that one officer had a broken arm. The officers and six civilians were sent to Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH), Ocean Breeze, in stable condition the NYPD said.
Four of the six injured civilians were children, ages 14, 11, 8 and 6. The others were the 34-year-old driver of a second car involved in the crash and an additional 36-year-old passenger.
A ninth person, a pedestrian, was also taken to SIUH for evaluation.
At 11:30 p.m., an NYPD spokesman gave an updated account of the crash. According to the spokesman, a black Ford and the police vehicle collided, and the police vehicle then hit an unoccupied white Toyota SUV.
The initial collision was in close proximity to the pedestrian who was transported to the hospital.
Both the black Ford and the white Toyota were badly damaged at the scene; the Ford had a child’s car seat visible in the backseat. A child’s shoe was left on the roadway.
A large police presence was visible following the incident at Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze.
The NYPD spokesperson did not immediately have information on what led up to the crash, although sources at the scene said there had been an NYPD car chase and emergency transmissions indicated police were searching for a car tied to the crash on Saturday night.
Police said the investigation is ongoing.
At the scene, Richmond Road was closed off to vehicular traffic from Old Town Road to where Richmond Road becomes Targee Street.
NYPD could be seen collecting the contents of the police vehicle, while investigating the scene.
A bystander at the scene told the Advance/SILive.com that she was unable to get home with several blocks closed, including Seaview Avenue. When she got home, that’s when she saw all of the lights and accident.
Saturday’s incident comes just days after another police-involved crash on Staten Island.
On Thursday, seven police officers were injured, seven NYPD vehicles were damaged and dozens of other cars were wrecked when an allegedly stolen commercial box truck careened through several Staten Island neighborhoods.
Michael Rompa, 48, was believed to be driving the truck that inflicted the damage, according to an NYPD spokesman.
The NYPD initially responded to a 911 call just before 6 p.m. of a W.B. Mason truck near the intersection of Bishop Street and Cranford Avenue in New Dorp.
As responding officers spotted a vehicle matching the description, they attempted a lawful stop.The truck then allegedly backed into three NYPD vehicles; one of which became entangled with the truck and was dragged 40 feet.
The driver ultimately crashed in Stapleton, near the corner of Van Duzer and Beach streets.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced a lawsuit against 17 bus and transportation companies helping to send asylum-seekers to the city as it deals with major budget issues surrounding the crisis.
The city is seeking $708 million in the lawsuit to cover costs for caring for migrants.
"New York City has and will always do our part to manage this humanitarian crisis, but we cannot bear the costs of reckless political ploys from the state of Texas alone," Adams said in a statement. "Today, we are taking legal action against 17 companies that have taken part in Texas Governor [Greg] Abbott's scheme to transport tens of thousands of migrants to New York City in an attempt to overwhelm our social services system.
He continued, "These companies have violated state law by not paying the cost of caring for these migrants, and that's why we are suing to recoup approximately $700 million already spent to care for migrants sent here in the last two years by Texas."
The lawsuit has yet to be reviewed by the county clerk.

New York City has struggled to keep up with the financial burden of tens of thousands of migrants coming into the city since Abbott began Operation Lone Star. Abbott said on Dec. 29 the state had sent "over 33,600" migrants to New York City since August 2022.
The transportation companies named in the lawsuit include: Buckeye Coach, Carduan Tours, Classic Elegance Coaches, Coastal Crew Change Company, Ejecutivo Enterprises, El Paso United Charters, Garcia and Garcia Enterprises, JY Charter Bus, Lily's Bus Lines, Mayo Tours, Norteno Express, Roadrunner Charters, Southwest Crew Change Company, Transportes Regiomontanos, VLP Charter, Windstar Lines and Wynne Transportation.
"As of November 27, 2023, the Defendants have earned millions of dollars in revenues from Texas for implementing the Texas Governor's plan," the lawsuit claims.
Abbott responded to the lawsuit in a statement, saying it is "baseless and deserves to be sanctioned."
"It's clear that Mayor Adams knows nothing about the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution, or about the constitutional right to travel that has been recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court," Abbott said. "Every migrant bused or flown to New York City did so voluntarily, after having been authorized by the Biden Administration to remain in the United States. As such, they have constitutional authority to travel across the country that Mayor Adams is interfering with. If the Mayor persists in this lawsuit, he may be held legally accountable for his violations."

The lawsuit cites section 149 of the New York Social Services law, which requires "[a]ny person who knowingly brings, or causes to be brought a needy person from out of state into this state for the purpose of making him a public charge ... shall be obligated to convey such person out of state or support him at his own expense."
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul stood in support of the lawsuit as well.
"Governor Abott continues to use human beings as political pawns, and it's about time that the companies facilitating his actions take responsibility for their role in this ongoing crisis," Hochul said in a statement. "If they are getting paid to break the law by transporting people in need of public assistance into our state, they should be on the hook for the cost of sheltering those individuals -- not just passing that expense along to hard-working New Yorkers. I'm proud to support the mayor's lawsuit."
Adams and Hochul have each repeatedly pressed for support from the federal government to deal with the costs of migrants arriving in the city.

Adam also announced a new executive order in late December that would "improved coordination from charter bus companies transporting new migrant arrivals into New York City, ensuring the safety and well-being of both migrants and city staff receiving them."
"New York City has begun to see another surge of migrants arriving, and we expect this to intensify over the coming days as a result of Texas Governor Abbott's cruel and inhumane politics," Adams said in a statement.
Just days later, buses began dropping migrants off in New Jersey and telling them to take public transit into the city in order to avoid running afoul of the executive order.

In an August 2022 interview with "Nightline," just after the launch of Operation Lone Star, Abbott accused Adams of "playing politics" and called him a "hypocrite."
"He's also being a hypocrite because New York City is a self-declared 'sanctuary city,'" Abbott said. "And so why he's ever complaining for one moment about these people being bused into a city goes against his own self-declaration of being a sanctuary city."
The term "sanctuary city" refers to municipalities like New York City that are willing to defy federal immigration laws in order to protect undocumented immigrants.
There were a record 302,000 migrant encounters at the southern border in December, according to Customs and Border Protection.
