Photos show NJ cops putting migrants on NYC-bound trains as beef between the states heats up
NY Post
Exclusive photos show how New Jersey is systematically shepherding asylum-seekers onto New York City-bound trains in the middle of the night — as Mayor Eric Adams’ plea for neighboring municipalities to help with the migrant crisis falls on deaf ears.
The images captured NJ Transit cops escorting migrants arriving in Trenton from Texas off their buses and onto trains bound for Manhattan’s Penn Station, from where they then head to the city’s main intake center.
The Garden State’s moves to avoid the out-of-control migrant mess sparked the ire of at least one Big Apple pol, whose borough has been inundated with hotels housing asylum-seekers.
“New Jersey absolutely should do something,” Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, a close Adams ally, told The Post on Thursday.
“New Jersey is going to have to be part of the solution,” he continued. “Are you going to put people on trains to New York forever? What if the migrants refuse to get on the train? Is New Jersey going to arrest them?”
The busload of asylum-seekers touching down in Trenton at around 10:50 p.m. Wednesday had no qualms about being escorted to New York City, according to the photos.
