A federal civil rights lawsuit has been filed on behalf of the migrants who were flown to Martha's Wineyard last week.
The group, Lawyers for Civil Rights, filed that class action lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and the Secretary of Florida's Department of Transportation Jared Perdue, "and their accomplices" over what they call a "fraudulent and discriminatory" plan to send 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard without the appropriate resources in place.
It comes after a Texas sheriff on Monday opened an investigation into the two flights, but did not say what laws may have been broken in putting 48 Venezuelans on private planes last week from San Antonio. "I believe there is some criminal activity involved here," Salazar said. "But at present we are trying to keep an open mind and we are going to investigate to find out what exact laws were broken if that does turn out to be the case."
