Hungry migrants were lured with $10 McDonalds gift certificates to gain their trust and fly them to Martha's Vineyard, lawsuit against Ron DeSantis says

According to a new lawsuit against the governor, people working with him gave Venezuela's hungry migrants $10 McDonald's gift certificates to gain their trust as part of a scheme to fly them from San Antonio, Texas, to Martha's Vineyard.

The chartering of two planes with state funds to fly about 50 migrants to Massachusetts to protest President Joe Biden's immigration policies has been credited to a potential presidential contender.

According to the federal class action laws, unnamed people working with Desantis identified and targeted the migrants, who suffer from chronic food insufficiency, by "trolling streets outside of a migrant shelter" in Texas.

The lawsuit says that if the migrants boarded planes to other states, they would be given educational opportunities and assistance.

The migrants were put in hotels away from the migrant center so that they wouldn't be able to see how the class members were being abused.

They were dropped off at Martha's Vineyard with no food, water, or shelter, even though they were told they were going to Boston or Washington, DC. The defendants didn't answer the migrants' calls after that.

The lawsuit's assertions were not commented on by the office of DeSantis.

The Texas sheriff said on Monday that he was opening a criminal investigation into the migrants' transport, saying they were lured with promises of a better life.

The state of Florida, the Florida Department of Transportation, and five unnamed "Doe" defendants are named in the lawsuit.
