A civil rights group representing at least three of the affected migrants has filed a class-action lawsuit against Gov. DeSantis and other Florida officials, claiming their clients were lured under false pretenses as part of a 'political stunt.'
Migrants stand outside St. Andrew's Church in Edgartown, Massachusetts, Sept. 14, 2022.A Texas sheriff said Monday he was opening a criminal investigation into Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' migrant flight to Martha's Vineyard as thefrom Democrats and even some Republicans and DeSantis defends what he calls a protest of border policies.
A civil rights group representing at least three of the affected migrants on Tuesday filed a class-action lawsuit against DeSantis and other Florida officials, claiming their clients were lured under false pretenses as part of a "political stunt." "There's a high possibility that the laws were broken here in the state of Texas in Bexar County," Salazar said.
Ivan Espinoza-Marigal, a leading lawyer representing many of the migrants, told ABC that most of the migrants' current status is under humanitarian parole and therefore they are not eligible for the benefits described in the pamphlet they received. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis speaks after the primary election for the midterms during the"Keep Florida Free Tour,"in Tampa, Fla., Aug. 24, 2022.Rachel Self, an immigration attorney helping migrants who arrived in Martha's Vineyard, said the map on the brochures was "cartoonishly simple" and contained information on how migrants could change their address with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services when they relocated.
The group filed the lawsuit on behalf of at least three affected people whom they claim were "targeted and induced" to board the planes under false pretenses. They allege in the suit that DeSantis and others focused on migrants who were released from shelters and promised them job opportunities, schooling for their children and immigration assistance.
"Immigrants are more than willing to leave Bexar County after being enticed to cross the border and 'to fend for themselves.' [Florida] provided an opportunity in a sanctuary state [with] resources, as expected - unlike the 53 who died in an abandoned truck in Bexar County in June," Fenske wrote on Twitter.DeSantis during his appearance on Hannity called the accusations that migrants were deceived "nonsense.
