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”.
Maybe if DeSantis (and Abbott) make the USA a shitty enough place to live, people will stop wanting to go there?
Only if the CIA and other of the worst parts of the US government also stop fucking with South and Central America.
They’re not coming because Florida and Texas are wonderful. They’re coming because US meddling destroyed their countries of origin.
It’s already happening. Canada just had to tighten the screws on visas from Mexico because Mexicans are skipping America and coming right to Canada at a volume that is apparently concerning the Feds lol
