A Florida judge has ruled that a legal challenge to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ program to fly illegal immigrants to other states will go to trial.

On Jan. 13, Leon County Circuit Judge John Cooper refused to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Democrat state Sen. Jason Pizzo against DeSantis and two individuals with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Pizzo is suing in his capacity as a private citizen.
