MIAMI (AP) — Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and other officials are being sued in federal court by immigrant rights groups challenging the constitutionality of the state’s migrant resettlement program.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday by three groups — Florida Immigrant Coalition, Americans for Immigrant Justice and Hope Community Center — against DeSantis and Transportation Secretary Jared Perdue. It was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
