A group of migrants already sued DeSantis, alleging they were duped 'to advance a political motive,' a Florida Democratic state senator has also filed a lawsuit, and a Texas sheriff has opened a criminal investigation.
last week to transport about 50 migrants from San Antonio, Texas, to Martha's Vineyard, in a stunt to protest President Joe Biden's immigration policies. He says they went voluntarily and his office provided a copy of a consent form that one signed.
Former prosecutors say the allegations of deception would be a key factor in an investigation. People working with DeSantis gave the migrantsto gain their trust as part of a"scheme" to fly them to Martha's Vineyard, according to the migrants' lawsuit. They were put up in a hotel away from the migrant center where they were found and falsely told they were flying to Boston or Washington, DC, where they would receive help.
Levin said one possibility is human trafficking laws, even though he said those statutes are intended for cases of sex trafficking or human trafficking for profit.
