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.

Said charter airline did, with malice aforethought, let us board its posh interior, and viciously fly us to an island full of rich people who pretended to like us and fed us foise gras, canapes, caviar on crackers and champaign, before giving us the heave ho.
As a result of this tortious conduct by the defendant airline, we had a great time that we’ll be telling about to our grandkids, as we live in misery in New York City, and at every election vote Democrat early and often.
Wherefore, plaintiffs demand more free stuff!
