Texas Governor Greg Abbott has denounced a “baseless” multi-million dollar lawsuit filed by New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Jan. 4 against charter bus companies transporting immigrants to NYC, arguing the legal challenge is invalid.

“This lawsuit is baseless and deserves to be sanctioned,” the Republican governor wrote in a statement posted to X just hours after Mr. Adams announced the lawsuit.
