NEW YORK - New York City is eyeing legal action to stop Texas Gov. Greg Abbott from sending more buses full of asylum seekers to the city, Mayor Eric Adams said Sunday.
As at least six more buses from Texas arrived in the city Sunday morning, Adams also floated the idea of using cruise ships to house migrants who have been entering city homeless shelters by the thousands.
“Our legal team is looking at legal challenges we could do with Texas,” Adams said in an appearance on CBS 2. “We believe there are some options we have, because when you involuntarily place someone on a bus, we believe that actually skates the law … We’re not leaving any stones unturned to make sure that New Yorkers are [not] being treated in an unfair way.”
At least 11,000 migrants have entered the city’s homeless shelters since May, including 2,500 who arrived on buses chartered by Abbott - leading Adams to declare the shelters at their “breaking point.”
The city has opened 23 emergency shelters and expects to open 38 more, the mayor said.
City Hall is now looking at the possibility of bringing in cruise ships as temporary housing, something Adams said the administration of former Mayor Mike Bloomberg considered to address a surge in homelessness, but never followed through on.
“We’re looking at that as a temporary measure, not a permanent measure. A permanent measure is get people into housing,” he said in the CBS interview. “We have to find temporary measures to address this issue.”
In a series of TV appearances Sunday, Adams pleaded with Abbott for at least a heads up about buses being sent to the city but said he has been rebuffed.

White Plains, NY can sue the feds too.
The don’t have legal documentation or ways to prove who they are, unlike the original immigrants to Ellis Island.
But the cartels know who they are and how to find them. They have family member’s back home as collateral/
Why Hawaii? Because it is an island? Don’t they have islands off WA?
Good one!
Correct. This will head straight for the Supreme Court, and Roberts has been consistent on this matter, and will throw it out due to lack of jurisdiction.
NY defies the constitution daily. Just ignore their bitching and moaning.
Tell him he will stop sending illegal aliens in exchange for a billion dollars for the wall
👍
Lawfare.
it’s new york.
they can find one to a dozen rather quickly. look at them go after trump.
Are the illegal aliens forced onto the buses, or do they board them willingly, knowing they’re headed for NYC? Everything would seem to depend on that.
NYC and the entire state of NY are blind to the problem. Sue Biden and Harris.
IIRC, Biden was shipping them to New York.
Except Mayor the illegals volunteer to go to your cesspool city.
So will NYC renounce sanctuary status? How can it not?
The hypocrisy of the left has no bounds.
Texas should reciprocate by using their generated energy(wind and sunlight) for themselves and not export it to other states.
