New York City is buying tickets for thousands of migrants to travel to
Texas via bus or plane, from where many of them originally traveled to
the sanctuary city in the first place, amid an ongoing battle between
officials over how to handle the migrant crisis.

New York City, which has been overwhelmed by more than 200,000 migrant
arrivals since 2022, has been providing settlement options to migrants
since that time. Last year, it opened a reticketing center to offer
one-way plane tickets to migrants.

Fox News confirms that 4,500 migrants have been sent to Texas using
bus or plane tickets bought by the city. The figure was first reported
by Bloomberg News.
