DeSantis to Release Migrant Flight Records by December 1st
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) office indicated it will produce records related to migrant flights the state orchestrated from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., by Dec. 1 after a nonprofit sued DeSantis for the materials.
Florida’s Executive Office of the Governor (EOG) included the timeline in a Tuesday evening court filing as part of its response to the Florida Center for Government Accountability’s (FCGA) suit, which alleges DeSantis refused to produce the documents after the group submitted a request for them under the state’s public records law last month.
DeSantis’s attorneys said the nonprofit has not given the governor’s office a “reasonable amount of time” to produce the documents, noting that it received more than 90 records requests in a matter of days following the migrant flights and is working through 245 total open requests.
