The New York Supreme Court has denied Mayor Eric Adams's request for a preliminary injunction against Texas busing illegal immigrants to New York City.
Adams filed the lawsuit against 17 charter bus companies in January in a bid to stop the bus companies from busing migrants, many of whom are undocumented, from communities in Texas to New York. Adams also cited Social Services Law 149, which stipulates that anyone "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" has an obligation "to convey such person out of state or support him at his own expense."
However, in her nine-page July 29 ruling, Judge Mary V. Rosado ruled that the lawsuit was "unconstitutional."
Rosado said the issue was similar to a 1941 Supreme Court case, Edwards v. California, wherein the Supreme Court found that an "essentially identical" law in California was unconstitutional for violating the Interstate Commerce Clause.
Citing the ruling, Rosado said the Court "finds that it cannot grant the request for injunctive relief as the merits of [the] claim are dubious at best given myriad constitutional concerns."
