Lawyers representing migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard nearly two years ago by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis can sue the charter flight company that transported them to the island off the Massachusetts coast, according to a ruling Monday by a federal judge in Boston.
The 50 Venezuelans were sent to Martha’s Vineyard from San Antonio, Texas, and had been promised work and housing opportunities.
Under Monday's ruling, the migrants can proceed with their suit against Florida-based Vertol Systems Co., which had agreed to fly them to the island for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
An email to the company seeking comment after the afternoon release of the ruling was not immediately returned.
Also named in the suit is DeSantis, who ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for president before dropping out in January.
The U.S. District Court of Massachusetts said in its ruling that it does not have jurisdiction over DeSantis in this case.
The court, however, found that the facts of the case “taken together, support an inference that Vertol and the other Defendants specifically targeted Plaintiffs because they were Latinx immigrants.”
The DeSantis administration noted that the judges' order dismissed the state defendants.

The EFFIN CORRUPTED EVIL POS BLACK ROBES ARE THE EFFIN ENEMY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!
A judge appointed by a Rat,no doubt.
Obama stooge Allison D. Burroughs - one of John Roberts’ “non-partisan” judges...
What kind of liberal “logic’ (an oxymoron, I know) allows a company offering a service, and providing it perfectly) to be sued by a cluster of folks who think they actually have anything to do with the service or its completion? Can we pay Israel to ‘take care of Martha’s Vinyard and Boston’? Start a Go Fund Me, please.

Sent thousands and thousands more to Martha’s Vineyard via ferry.
For what?
The charter didn’t force anything on them. The state of
Florida did.
Judges just love to say, “No standing.” Let’s see them
man up on this one, say the same thing.
The court, however, found that the facts of the case “taken together, support an inference that Vertol and the other Defendants specifically targeted Plaintiffs because they were Latinx immigrants.”
Don't companies target potential customers based on race, age, sex, income level, ethnic background and the region of the country in which they live? They don't try to sell baby clothes to 70-year-olds. They don't try to sell suntan products to black people. They don't try to sell Mercedes to people on welfare.
About the only thing I despise more than a leftist, ambulance chasing, shyster lawyer is one who puts on a black robe and pretends to be a ‘Judge’.
Imagine a lawyer who has no problem taking an illegal alien border-jumping invader as a client. Only in America. Land of opportunity.
Does this include Brandon’s secret flights from other countries?
If there is a trail I will very probably attend at least a day or two.
Burroughs’ duty station is Boston, so the federal court there.
Confirmed by voice vote in the Senate.
Yup....a $1.10 ride from my house.
The court is a dumb@$$.
