Ron DeSantis and other defendants over controversial Florida-backed flights of 49 migrants from Texas to Massachusetts in 2022. The attorneys filed a 101-page brief arguing that a Massachusetts federal judge should reject arguments by DeSantis and the other defendants seeking dismissal of the lawsuit. “(At) the heart of this case is whether the laws of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts permit defendants to lure vulnerable, innocent people onto a plane with false promises of jobs, housing, and support, and then dump them in an unknown place they did not agree to go, where they were not expected, and without any of the promised resources,” the brief said.

By COLLEEN LONG and JILL COLVIN PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — In a freewheeling press conference at his Mar-a-Lago club, President-elect Donald Trump said Monday he would consider pardoning embattled New York Mayor Eric Adams, declared the country was “not going to lose” the polio vaccine and weighed in on the flurry of drone sightings over New Jersey. Holding court with reporters for the first time since he won the election and secured a second term, Trump also called on the Biden administration to stop selling off unused portions of the southern border wall, threatening legal action. “We’re going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars more on building the same wall we already have,” he railed.
