Class action lawsuit filed against DeSantis on behalf of migrants brought to Massachusetts
The organization Lawyers for Civil Rights announced Tuesday that a federal civil rights class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of a class of affected immigrants, including the dozens flown to Martha's Vineyard, and Alianza Americas, a network of migrant-led organizations supporting immigrants across the United State
"The persons who were flown to Martha's Vineyard were deceived, were misinformed," Olea said. "They are asylum seekers. They do not have access to those services."
So, what harm has been done to them, to give them standing to sue?

So this is going to get hairy.
Does anyone know the makeup of the bus of migrants? If the majority were from Venezuela there might be serious problems for Desantis.
If the majority were Mexican maybe not so much.
Venezuelans have temporary asylum seeker status in the US. To me that means they are protected.
Very few Mexicans have been granted aslylum.

"Some 50 migrants from Venezuela have filed a class action lawsuit in a Massachusetts state court. In it, they accuse the Republican governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, of abusing them for his own "illegal goals" and "political interests." They are seeking damages."
The whole thing was an embarrassing and inhumane political stunt.

They were mislead or tricked in going there.
The Biden administration has been quietly flying underage illegal immigrants from Texas to New York late at night for more than two months in an effort to resettle the tens of thousands of migrants taken into custody at the border in recent weeks, according to a new report.

I'm sure there were no progressive lawyers involved in "helping" these "abused" migrants file their class action. Free food, free lodging and free transportation, how exactly were they abused? Was Brandon and Hunter on the bus with them?

The migrants were lured with promises that turned out to be lies upon arrival - such as the prospect of housing and jobs, according to the migrants and Alianza Americas, an organization that advocates for immigrants' rights.
