About 50 people sent to island in 2022 in DeSantis’s ‘relocation program to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations’
A group of migrants who were sent to Martha’s Vineyard in 2022 by Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, can sue the plane company that transported them, a federal judge has ruled.
In a ruling issued last Friday, the US district judge Allison Burroughs said that the migrants who were shuttled from Texas to the wealthy liberal island in Massachusetts can proceed with their legal claims against Vertol Systems, the plane company which was contracted by Florida to carry out the flights.
The 77-page ruling, which also named DeSantis, Florida’s transportation secretary, Jared Perdue, and other state officials as defendants, said that the Venezuelan migrants and the immigrant rights group Alianza Americas “sufficiently alleged” multiple claims including “civil rights conspiracy” and “civil conspiracy”.
Specifically the part about suing one of the conspirators instead of the actual guy in power who did the thing.
From OP’s summary text, emphasis added:
I understand not clicking through to read the article, but c’mon now, is the summary too much to ask?
Pretty sure the courts in Florida have also already ruled that what DeSantis did (taking money that was ringfenced for dealing with migrants in Florida and paying his friend’s charter airline to fly migrants from Texas to Massachusetts) was illegal and a misappropriation of taxpayer funds.
You can still sue civilly over something that’s already been tried criminally, it makes suing even easier
What’s the over/under on anything actually being done about it?
So unlikely that even the sleaziest backroom bookies aren’t taking bets 😮💨
god bless america
A country so modern its currency references bronze age superstition!
Still if people/company that conspire with him start to get sue they might stop helping him real fast rightwing are not known for their courage or loyalty once shit begin hitting the fan
Yeah we’ll see how the Q Cucks Clan likes a taste of their own medicine lol
