Groups sue Florida officials over migrant relocation program

MIAMI – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other officials are being sued in federal court by immigrant rights groups who challenge the constitutionality of the state’s migrant relocation program. The suit was filed Thursday by the Florida Immigrant Coalition, Americans for Immigrant Justice and Hope Community Center against DeSantis and state Transportation Secretary Jared Perdue. The lawsuit claims that the appropriation creates an incoherent definition of “unauthorized alien” that is inconsistent with federal immigration laws.
