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.

They haven’t got a single complaint then.
As long as the Democrats insist on using the term “Latinx”, he’s doing to lose votes with the Hispanics.
Two tiered Lawfare.
Thanks. Yes, that’s about it isn’t it.
The Left is so disgusting.
Front row to the stoogery...
Yup. Obamastooge.
Obama stooge Allison D. Burroughs - one of John Roberts’ “non-partisan” judges...
Those “migrants” (illegals) aren’t entitled to *anything* in this country. The only bit of my tax dollars I’d grudgingly agree to spend on that refuse is transportation back to their home countries.
Let’s Go Brandon.
“...one of John Roberts’ “non-partisan” judges...”
That’s really triggering, please don’t remind me of the traitor’s remarks.
[He’s got a bad case of Long TDS...]
And again- the GOP bends over and takes it.
Where are the massive lawsuits by Texas and other red states against biden for border violations?
Judge Karen, no Hispanic uses the term "Latinx."
martha’s vinyard way up in yankeeland, might want to rethink that. Better ask them disney yankees what they think about riling people up down Here.
Even if he wins (and manages to take office), Trump had better be prepared to use the US Marshals or MP's to drag hundreds of DOJ, FBI, state and local officials and Federal judges off to jail or it's all for naught.
Looks like she could be a part time UMC pastor.
