A class-action lawsuit brought by a group of Venezuelan migrants that the state flew to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, is being rebuffed by the office of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R), who calls it an act of "political theatre."
The Hill published a centrist article about how the suit alleges the governor and state official misled the migrants into signing consent forms before flying them to Martha's Vineyard, Mass., on false promises. Massachusetts is suing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other GOP governors for relocating undocumented migrants across state lines. Some of the migrants say they were told they were being sent to Washington, D.C., or Boston, only to find out they were instead heading to Martha's Vineyard.
A left-leaning article from Bloomberg highlights that migrants claim they were duped into making the trip by free fast food and promises of employment and housing. Florida paid for private chartered planes, at a cost of $12,300 per passenger. But they landed on Martha's Vineyard without food, water, shelter, or anyone knowing about their arrival. Florida governor’s spokeswoman says relocation was ‘voluntary’
A right-leaning article from Fox News highlights how the Massachusetts National Guard was called in to bus the migrant away from the island within 48 hours. and that the law firm filing the suit received $50,000 from Borealis Philanthropy, a left-wing donor-advised fund that acts as an intermediary, steering Democratic money to organizations. "The immigrants were homeless, hungry, and abandoned," she says.
