One Venezuelan mother traveling with her husband and their 11-year-old child said she 'felt helpless, defrauded, and desperate' after arriving in Martha's Vineyard.
, alleging that they were lured onto flights through gifts and false offers of jobs and services.
The class-action lawsuit, which seeks to cover the roughly 50 migrants taken to Martha's Vineyard, alleged that an unknown person gained the migrants' trust in Texas by offering them McDonald's gift cards, free hotel rooms and assistance getting them to a destination where they would find employment, housing and other services.
It was only after the planes took off that the migrants were told their final destination was Martha's Vineyard, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit, which was filed by Lawyers for Civil Rights, a Boston-based organization, said the migrants"experienced cruelty akin to what they fled" in Venezuela, which has seen millions of its citizens flee in recent years due its economic collapse and repressive government.
Asked about Tuesday's lawsuit, Taryn Fenske, DeSantis' communications director, called the action"opportunistic" in a statement.
