The lawsuit alleges that DeSantis and his accomplices engaged in "a premeditated, fraudulent, and illegal scheme centered on exploiting [the migrants] for the sole purpose of advancing their own personal, financial and political interests."

2. ooh, a MA federal court......

No chance of cannon getting it. But I'm sure there are trump appointees up here as well.

If it goes to jury, it will be the one you hope you will get picked for (no matter what you think or don't about the actors); it will just be a fascinating case.
