Rogue migrant buses to face criminal charges as part of Mayor Adams’ crackdown on arrivals
NY Post
Mayor Eric Adams is cracking down on rogue migrant buses flowing into New York City — threatening criminal charges for charter bus companies that flout the new rules.
Adams issued an executive order Wednesday requiring charter bus companies alert the city’s Emergency Management Office 32 hours before arriving in the Big Apple.
The order also limits drop-off hours to between 8:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. daily and to a single location, on West 41st Street between Eight and Ninth Avenue in Manhattan.
“We cannot allow buses with people needing our help to arrive without warning any hour of day and night,” Adams said in a virtual press conference with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston.
“This not only prevents us from providing assistance and orderly way, it puts those who have already suffered so much in danger.”
Failure to heed the new rules could result in criminal charges, fines, lawsuits “and even buses being impounded,” Adams said.
