DeSantis team rips federal lawsuit against Florida migrant relocation program after Martha's Vineyard flights

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' team responded to a new federal lawsuit brought by immigrant rights groups who challenge the constitutionality of the state organizing two flights of migrants sent to Martha's Vineyard.

Florida's migrant relocation program is "lawfully executed under an appropriation of the Florida state legislature (that, incidentally, had bipartisan support.) This program does not violate federal law," Taryn Fenske, communications director for DeSantis, said in a statement provided to Politico on Friday. "We will continue to defend the state’s actions against these politically motivated, unsound lawsuits."

The 28-page lawsuit was filed Thursday by three groups — Florida Immigrant Coalition, Americans for Immigrant Justice and Hope Community Center — against DeSantis and state Transportation Secretary Jared Perdue.

It was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida................

"Politically motivated lawsuits"?   Sure they are.  But what is using **Florida's Migrant Relocation Program** to go into the state of Texas and pull migrants from there and fly them to  MV if not a politically motivated stunt?

It is not clear as to why illegals were transported from TX via FL's relocation program, however, I don't think DeSantis would make such a move if he didn't think he would succeed in court as he's taking a huge political risk.
