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.
An email to the company seeking comment after the afternoon release of the ruling was not immediately returned. The U.S. District Court of Massachusetts said in its ruling that it does not have jurisdiction over DeSantis in this case. The court also said that “Unlike ICE agents legitimately enforcing the country’s immigration laws ... the Court sees no legitimate purpose for rounding up highly vulnerable individuals on false pretenses and publicly injecting them into a divisive national debate.”
