Florida officials created an "official-looking brochure" that used language from a refugee resettlement program to lure them to the planes with the false promise of better opportunities, the suit alleges.
The migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard from San Antonio on Wednesday said they were told they were going to Boston, where they'd have more opportunities. “I believe there is some criminal activity involved here,” the sheriff announced.
If the migrants were misled into boarding the flights, the ruse used to transport them could constitute fraud, false imprisonment, or kidnapping, lawyer warns.
