The lawsuit comes less than a month before DeSantis is up for reelection for governor.
An attorney representing the Executive Office of the Governor informed them they would not be produced by September 30, the lawsuit added.
Now, the Center is turning to the court to demand a hearing on the public records. They are requesting for the court to direct the governor's office to provide an explanation for why the documents cannot be provided and to"find that the Defendants' refusal to produce the records was not justified" and that they violated the state's public records law.DeSantis has also been hit with another lawsuit filed on behalf of the migrants sent to Martha's Vineyard.
The suit claimed that the governor's team offered migrants experiencing food insecurity a $10 McDonald's gift certificate to"induce unwitting trust." The migrants were allegedly promised employment and educational opportunities, but DeSantis' team allegedly failed to make these arrangements, according to the lawsuit.Florida state Senator Jason Pizzo has also sued DeSantis over the program.
"If you have folks that are inclined to think Florida is a good place, our message to them is, we are not a sanctuary state, and it's better to be able to go to a sanctuary jurisdiction," DeSantis said during a September 15 press conference."And yes, we will help facilitate that transport for you to be able to go to greener pastures."
