Secaucus mayor cites “loophole” in New York City’s rules as buses start dropping off asylum seekers in New Jersey

SECAUCUS, N.J. — The mayor of Secaucus, New Jersey is responding after 4 buses have been observed dropping off asylum seekers on the Secaucus Junction teach station. 

Mayor Michael Gonnelli mentioned the primary bus arrived on Dec. 30. 

The asylum seekers then took trains into New York City, the place Mayor Eric Adams lately issued an government order requiring bus corporations to inform NYC Emergency Management no less than 32 hours sooner than arriving or face fines.

In a observation, Mayor Gonnelli mentioned in section:

It turns out slightly transparent the bus operators are discovering a solution to thwart the necessities of the Executive Order via dropping migrants on the teach station in Secaucus and having them proceed to their ultimate vacation spot. Perhaps the necessities Mayor Adams put in position are too stringent and are ensuing in sudden penalties as it sort of feels the bus operators have discovered a loophole in the gadget in order to make sure the migrants succeed in their ultimate vacation spot, which is New York City. Based on experiences from the State Police that is now taking place at teach stations all through the state.

I’ve been steered the State of New Jersey has a plan in position and we will be able to be operating carefully with the Governor’s workplace, all legislation enforcement businesses, and the County to observe this example.  At this level in time it sort of feels teach tickets are being secured for the migrants and they’ve been making their solution to their ultimate vacation spot. We will proceed to observe this example carefully.

Mayor Adams introduced the necessities closing week amid the inflow of constitution buses wearing asylum seekers from Texas to New York. 

The NYPD later mentioned it was once issuing warnings, now not fines, to bus corporations that violate the chief order.
