I remember a few years back when we had a surplus of catered food at a church event. The event ended pretty early, so I helped package up the remaining portions that we had in large aluminum trays, and took them to a homeless shelter. Upon arriving, we were told they couldn’t accept the food. Mind you, none of this had been touched at all. It was never even served we had so much.

I remember going back to my car in shock, wondering why they wouldn’t take the food. They said something about new regulations that they needed to know if it came from a certified kitchen or something like that. As I was about to pull away with the trays, someone came running from the back door, and told me that if we kept it on the down low and went through the back door, she would be happy to take the food to serve however many it would feed.

It seems the city had enacted these laws to make sure the homeless weren’t going to be poisoned with our catered food. I was relieved that someone understood common sense, and to hell with “well-meaning” regulations. The women and children in this shelter were hungry. They needed help. So glad I didn’t have to take all that food back to the church or home. It was probably enough for another 30 people.

Any truck driver FReeper could whip them for brains ...

And I’ll never cease to be amazed that DeSantis taught at Darlington School in Rome, Georgia in the year between Yale undergrad and Harvard law.

[higgmeister]

I just thought of this, his gap year job probably helped pay for Harvard.

They should get plunked in Miami and let the Dems there deal with them.

[D Rider]

what happens if they dont sign the forms?

Then they don't get to go.

[dforest]

My understanding is that they blend into the fabric where they are at and apply for free stuff. The Catholic Church maybe helps?

[dadfly]

just brilliant.

the Vinyarders were the ones that forced them out against their will. they volunteered for DeSantis.

The truly disgusting thing is that depending on where the trial is held that just might win.

How do they have standing?

[jpp113]

In Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife (90-1424), 504 U.S. 555 (1992), the Supreme Court created a three-part test to determine whether a party has standing to sue:

1. The plaintiff must have suffered an “injury in fact,” meaning that the injury is of a legally protected interest which is (a) concrete and particularized and (b) actual or imminent

2. There must be a causal connection between the injury and the conduct brought before the court

3. It must be likely, rather than speculative, that a favorable decision by the court will redress the injury

Since an illegal alien is still a citizen of their home country, the only restriction on their ability to sue for constitutional violations that took place while they were in the US is that the suit has to be brought in US Federal Court.

Has this birdcage liner stipulate what those injuries were? They sure didn’t seem too upset in the few photos I saw

According to Paragraph 6 of the Complaint:

"Defendants manipulated them, stripped them of their dignity, deprived them of their liberty, bodily autonomy, due process, and equal protection under law, and impermissibly interfered with the Federal Government’s exclusive control over immigration in furtherance of an unlawful goal and a personal political agenda."

So basically it is a 1983 claim - violating civil rights under the color of authority

Sorry I can't seem to make it operable but here is a link to a website with a copy of the Complaint:

impermissibly interfered with the Federal Government’s exclusive control over immigration

Didn’t the federal courts stop Pres Trump from sending them to sanctuary locations after California and other liberals sued?

[jpp113]

I believe that was Trump’s DoJ suing the sanctuary cities and threatening to pull all federal funds. Judge ruled that was unconstitutional. Don’t know all the details though.
