Even if someone (like the ACLU) does take this up, these people are jobless and homeless. Can they keep up a suit if they’re deported? Will pursuing it be high on their list of priorities (over, you know, food)?
A federal judge in Boston has ruled that migrants flown from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard in 2022 can proceed with a lawsuit against the Florida company that took them there.
Just read the article before firing off a hot take.
The migrants were flown and dropped off without notice on the island from Massachusetts. Essentially, the migrants were trafficked through America by Ron DeSantis which due to this action also gives the migrants quicker solutions to citizenship regardless of their previous status. Considering Martha’s Vineyard is an island of rich lawyers I suspect this entire case will be an easy victory for them. Hecks, I’d wager that those lawyers would represent the case cheaply or even pro bono considering how serious the violation was by that dipshit.
Lastly this happened in 2022 I’m willing to believe these people are all now employed, quite possibly still on the island.
Judges don’t issue rulings without a case. Also, plenty of people take on cases pro bono or on a contingent fee basis
This case exists, but no lawsuits do yet.

Literally the first paragraph of the article:

What do you think the difference between a case and a lawsuit?
One is the thing you put papers in, the other is what you wear to court, duh!!
