Venezuelan Asylum Seekers Sue DeSantis After Being Sent to Martha's Vineyard
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A group of Venezuelan asylum seekers has filed a class-action lawsuit
against Florida Republican Governor Ron De Santis and other officials
after they were tricked into being flown to Martha's Vineyard, an island
off of Massachusetts. The lawsuit accuses the officials of being engaged
in a "premeditated, fraudulent, and illegal scheme" to advance their own
personal, financial and political interests.
