Illegal immigrants flown to a Massachusetts island on orders from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sued the governor on Sept. 20, claiming they were subject to a fraudulent and illegal scheme.

Florida officials, acting in concert with others, looked for immigrants by pretending to offer humanitarian aid outside a shelter in Texas and other areas, according to the lawsuit.
