Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And... these non-citizens can hire lawyers and file suits in a US court? With what money?
I don't see how this helps them. Maybe the ACLU will take this on.
It says right in the article it was with the help of an immigrants rights group. They were illegally pushed onto a plane and flown to Martha's Vineyard without anyone knowing they were coming. Desantis and his henchmen broke the law, and this judge agrees and has allowed them to bring a lawsuit against them.
Also, people on US soil are to be afforded the rights of the constitution.
What constitutional rights do undocumented immigrants have?
Judges don’t issue rulings without a case. Also, plenty of people take on cases pro bono or on a contingent fee basis
This case exists, but no lawsuits do yet.
Even if someone (like the ACLU) does take this up, these people are jobless and homeless. Can they keep up a suit if they're deported? Will pursuing it be high on their list of priorities (over, you know, food)?
Literally the first paragraph of the article:
Just read the article before firing off a hot take.
What do you think the difference between a case and a lawsuit?
One is the thing you put papers in, the other is what you wear to court, duh!!
The migrants were flown and dropped off without notice on the island from Massachusetts. Essentially, the migrants were trafficked through America by Ron DeSantis which due to this action also gives the migrants quicker solutions to citizenship regardless of their previous status. Considering Martha’s Vineyard is an island of rich lawyers I suspect this entire case will be an easy victory for them. Hecks, I’d wager that those lawyers would represent the case cheaply or even pro bono considering how serious the violation was by that dipshit.
Lastly this happened in 2022 I’m willing to believe these people are all now employed, quite possibly still on the island.
There are so many migrant rights organizations who will be happy to get them lawyers and pursue these cases. It has the potential to ensure this never happens again (through the back door of making it far too high a liability for the transportation companies).
Hell, this could even end up affecting the routine bus trips. At minimum, create very clear disclosure and consent requirements for the migrants, which would be a huge win.
"All men are created equal" <- notice how it doesn't specify citizenship
What business is that of yours? Where did trumpler get his 175m to pay for his own crimes? (It surely wasn't his own bank account)
Your ilk is melting away, enjoy the time you have left un-drowned in the vitriol you promote.
Look, I know you're enjoying that self-righteous high right now but I think you've misunderstood my position.
My point was that while it's great that a judge has given these people standing, they're not really in an economic position where they're able to file lawsuits (and I'm not sure if they even can file lawsuits in US courts when they're non-citizens).
Fortunately, based on the other comments it sounds like they are getting help, and someone else is filing lawsuits on their behalf.
You've really misread what I wrote.
Why don't you clarify your comment instead of attacking people who are standing up for immigrants? You're the one on a self-righteous high right now. Take a look in the mirror.
Because they already sued… that’s why a judge is involved
