Venezuelan immigrants in the U.S. legally as they seek asylum have filed a class action lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and other state officials, NPR reports, for flying them from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard under false pretenses. Calling the two flights a “pre-meditated political stunt,” some of the immigrants say they were “terrified” after being lured on to the airplanes with promises of food and shoes. DeSantis’ office says the flights were “done on a voluntary basis,” according to CNN.
