New York City faced a lawsuit from Roadrunner Charters Inc. after the dismissal of the mayor’s $700 million case against bus companies for transporting migrants. The city’s earlier claim was termed 'political theatre' and unconstitutional, impacting interstate commerce rights. Roadrunner's counter-suit argues the city’s actions were frivolous and aimed to distract from federal immigration issues while seeking damages for the economic harm caused by the lawsuit. This development highlights tensions between local policies and private transportation businesses amid ongoing migrant issues.
"The city violated Roadrunner's constitutional right to carry out interstate commerce and transportation, the complaint claims."
"The new case is an effort to discourage the filing of frivolous lawsuits by the city that impact private entities who have nothing to do with immigration policy," plaintiff lawyer Robert Hantman told The Post.
