Legal Battle Over Migrant Flights to Martha's Vineyard Continues

TL;DR Summary
A federal judge in Boston has ruled that Venezuelan migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard in 2022 can proceed with a lawsuit against the Florida company that transported them, while dismissing claims against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other officials. The migrants allege they were misled about their destination and deprived of their civil rights. The judge's order allows the case to proceed against the air transport company, Vertol, and criticizes the defendants for their actions. The ruling is seen as a victory by the migrants' legal representation, while the company's lawyer expressed satisfaction with most of the case being dismissed.
