Andrews Myers Defends 16 Bus Companies Against $708 Million NYC Damages Claim Over Operation Lonestar

Andrews Myers represents 16 business companies facing a $708 million damages claim and bond demand from the New York City Department of Social Services. The City alleges the companies participated in Texas Governor Gregg Abbott’s Operation Lonestar by transporting migrants to New York City, purportedly as part of an illegal scheme to influence federal immigration policy. The defendants argue that the City’s claims are based on a statute that violates the supremacy and interstate commerce clauses of the U.S. Constitution.
