A federal judge in Boston has ruled that migrants flown from Texas to Martha's Vineyard in 2022 can proceed with a lawsuit against the Florida company that took them there.
The judge also dismissed claims against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other officials named in the suit.
Three migrants from Venezuela, along with an immigrant rights group, filed the lawsuit. They say that Florida's governor, others in his administration and an air transport company conspired to mislead them and deprive them of their civil rights when they recruited and flew them to Martha's Vineyard in 2022.
In their lawsuit, the migrants, identified as Yanet, Pablo and Jesus say they were told they were going to Massachusetts, but didn't know their final destination was Martha's Vineyard until shortly before landing.
Three illegals had agreed to go to MA, and they were taken to MA as per the agreement. Now the three, and an immigrant rights group, are suing the company that had flown them there because the company had held up their end of the agreement? What standing does the Obama judge see in this suit?
Most likely the judge is trying to create caselaw that would bar TX and other states from sending illegals to other states, states that illegals want to go to. Nimbyism at it's finest. That judge should be sanctioned for allowing this frivolous and unwarranted case to proceed.
All depends on how they agreed to be sent there if the document told them one thing and something else was done could be on the hook. These companies are likely owned by republican donors who are making millions of dollars in tax payer funded money charging $5000 a person to be transported by air. The bus rides cost tax payers $2200 a person on a bus ride that would normally cost $250 on Grayhound.
I'm in favor of suing the republican companies who made millions on these political stunts.
I couldn't access the article because it comes up as an error, but this doesn't me from a legal perspective. Non-citizens that are here in the United States have never been prohibited from bringing suit against companies that have allegedly caused them damages. And the fact that someone has done something against the law doesn't mean that the courts are closed to that person. For example, someone who shoplifts can still sue that person's neighbor for damage to personal property. If you divorce your emotions from the illegal immigrant issue and look at this legally it makes sense. Mind you, all that has been decided, according to the OP, is that they can proceed with the suit. They still have to prove their case. So, for example, if they did agree to take the flight then they may lose. Simply being able to proceed with a case is a pretty low bar.

What do the 4th and 14th amendments have to do with illegal aliens?

Does the same go for Biden* and the companies he'd used to fly illegals around the country in the dead of night?
"How dare this bigoted judge rule that xenophobic, largely rich white people can refuse quarter to minorities fleeing oppression and death to the confines of these self-proclaimed "sanctuary city" utopias; and how dare the judge allow them to sue the company and benevolent US State that charitably facilitated their deliverance to The Promised land!?"
Buehler? Beeuuhlerr?
