Six buses unloaded migrants at Port Authority overnight into Friday, according to officials in the Adams administration. They are the first to arrive after Mayor Adams’ new executive order took effect Wednesday.

Among other things, the order requires bus operators to give the city 32 hours notice before bringing migrants into the city.

One newly arrived migrant described the long journey.

“I had to wait until I was released from immigration. I had to sign some papers, Joao Rodrigo said. Once that was done, they sent me to a shelter. In the shelter they have buses and plans, but you have to pay. They only have a handful of shelters that have free buses. I was sent to a shelter that had free buses, and that bus brought me here, from Brownsville, Texas.”

Since the six buses arrived less than two days after the order was announced, the city is granting their operators some leniency. Going forward, however, city officials said any buses arriving outside of the official drop off period between 8:30 a.m. and noon, without giving the city 32 hours’ notice, will be in violation of the order.

“You’re allowed to drop off migrants in the city between a certain time period, but you’re going to do it in the location that we specify so we don’t overtax our resources, our manpower or create a disorderly environment,” Adams said Friday.

Adams said he hopes to decrease the “chaotic nature” in which migrants are bussed here from Southern states — and the harm it causes to both migrants and city workers.

The city has seen a surge of migrant buses recently, with 14 arriving in a single night last week. More than 14,000 migrants arrived in the last month, according to Adams administration officials.

“It’s no different than enforcement of any other law,” said Lisa Zornberg, Chief Counsel to Mayor Adams and City Hall. “Everyone is expected to comply with the order and if they don’t, the NYPD is charged with enforcement.”

City officials said the NYPD will be monitoring loading zones outside of the specified hours and gathering evidence against companies that potentially violate the executive order. Such criminal violations would have to include probable cause and documentation of potential wrongdoing, as is the case with other crimes.

Mayor Adams has joined a coalition of mayors, including those from Denver and Chicago who have issued their own executive orders, to raise their voices in calling on the federal government to assist cities dealing with this crisis.

“We are incredibly grateful for the assistance that we’ve gotten from our federal and state partners, but 160,000 people have come into our city over the last year and a half and we continue to need additional assistance, as do all the other cities dealing with this national crisis across the country,” said Adams Chief of Staff, Camille Joseph Varlack.

Until then, the city hopes the executive order can create a sense of order.
