Judge OKs migrants flown from San Antonio to Martha's Vineyard to sue plane firm

A federal judge ruled Monday that migrants flown from San Antonio to Martha's Vineyard by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis two years ago can sue the charter-flight business that deposited them in the Northeastern resort town, the Associated Press reports. Under Monday’s ruling in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts, the Venezuelan migrants can move ahead with a lawsuit against Florida's Vertol Systems Co., according to the AP. Under orders from DeSantis, the State of Florida paid Vertol to transport the group of 50 asylum seekers, who were falsely promised jobs and housing if they embarked on the flight.
