Migrants who were flown to Martha's Vineyard filed a lawsuit against Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday.
Migrants were made to believe that they would receive refugee benefits upon arrival, lawsuit says.
They received "official-looking materials" including a brochure "manufactured" by Florida officials.
Florida officials and agencies used several tactics to lure migrants on a chartered flight to Martha's Vineyard, including making a fake brochure that purports refugee benefits, according to a class-action lawsuit.
On September 14, 50 migrants, most of whom were from Venezuela, were flown in two chartered planes from Texas to Martha's Vineyard as part of a political stunt by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to criticize border policies under the Biden administration.
Now, a group of those migrants is taking action against DeSantis and other state officials and agencies in a class-action lawsuit filed on Tuesday. Lawyers representing the migrants accused DeSantis and Florida officials of plotting an "illegal scheme" to "defraud vulnerable immigrants to advance a political motive."......
"On information and belief, the brochure was manufactured by Defendants," the lawsuit read, adding that it "echoed the type of false representation" that migrants were given by word-of-mouth, such as assistance with housing, food, and employment in the first 90 days upon arrival in Massachusetts.

These people were found homeless and abandoned on the street, they were given food and shelter and then flown for free to a state that “says” it would welcome them. Once arriving they were again helped in many many ways.
Meanwhile anyone who didn’t take the offer is still homeless and hungry on the streets.
These illegal aliens have no case against anyone but possibly the Biden administration!
It's been the pattern for decades, and continues to worsen with every passing day.
It will be shadenfreudalicious if it turns out that these are MA's own brochures.
I volunteer at a free clinic as a nurse. We often give out brochures like this to notify our clients of community health agencies that may, or may not, be of use to them.
How is this anything but a kindness?
If officials made the brochure , isn’t it official?
To be fair they’ll get jobs here in Mass a lot easier than in Florida I reckon. Fake News™️
Who Cares? They Are ILLEGAL INVADERS, tell them “Get on the Bus/Plane or go to JAIL”
Then tell The Lying, Dying Fake News Liberal Media - NO Lie They Won’t Tell and DemonRatz “I HOPE you don’t like it!”
Since I seriously doubt that any of these Venezuelan invaders personally knew of a Masshole lawyer, did someone do a little solicitation? That’s a no-no.
Yep, Demonicrats are behind this BS.
508 is the area code for Edgartown, MA.
I looked it up. As far as I can tell, is NOT a sanctuary state...but there are sanctuary cities.
They are illegals with no papers, no history, no everything - they should have no standing in a US court.
I’m sure they would get whatever benefits the federal government will offer them on MV. Why would it be different on MV than in a sanctuary city? These wealthy democrats sure don’t like their space to be cluttered with smelly border crossers. It’s ok for the rest of us though. This is bs.
I hope the pearl clutching woketards realize we are laughing out loud at them at every step of this.
Same thought. I am really not making the connection between the outrage and the fact that this is a purported sanctuary city. How is sending people from a non-sanctuary location to a sanctuary location doing ill? Seems almost good Samaritan to me.
The brocure is just a nicer way of getting you in the train car than a machine gun. Sometimes more effective.
Find out if the resources on the brochure exist.
Websites
Phone numbers
Resource center
And if they actually have, as their mission, the things represented
If they compiled the brochure to make it easier for the people to find resources then what is the problem?
Maybe they just grabbed a handful of brocures the last time they were up in commie land. Florida didnt print anything. Those are bone fide papers from some legit people that want to help. How more helpful can Florida get seeing they are not a sanctuary state.
It didn’t.
There is no origination/author/sponsor source anywhere on the brochure
