migrant flights

Republicans say migrants will be helped by being transported to sanctuary cities. Democrats call it a political stunt meant to serve the governor’s political ambitions.

Typically, a special legislative session focuses on just one—maybe two—subjects. This time, lawmakers are tacking a full slate of issues.

A Leon County circuit judge has dismissed a lawsuit alleging that the state did not comply with public-records requests about migrant flights to Massachusetts.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis highlighted illegal immigration last fall by sending dozens of immigrants from Texas to an island off the Massachusetts coast.

Democratic state Sen. Jason Pizzo filed the suit, contending the DeSantis administration infringed on the federal government regarding immigration issues.

Immigrant-advocacy groups filed a federal lawsuit challenging an “unauthorized alien” relocation program approved by Florida lawmakers earlier this year.
