Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday insisted his new restrictions on buses carrying migrants to New York City is “not backfiring” after drivers began dropping off recent arrivals at New Jersey train stations over the weekend, even as he indicated his team is looking at ways the policy can be tweaked.
Over New Year’s weekend, bus operators began dropping migrants off at commuter rail stations in the Garden State, from which the newcomers then traveled to the Big Apple, after Adams last week signed an executive order placing strict limits on when and how charter buses can drop off migrants in the city. The buses of migrants, many of which are being sent to the five boroughs by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, have been arriving here for the better part of two years.
