Judge rules Martha’s Vineyard refugees can sue airline - RgrF - 04-05-2024
In the ruling, Burroughs said: “Plaintiffs have sufficiently alleged that they were restrained against their will … (‘By the time Plaintiffs learned that they were being taken to Martha’s Vineyard, they had no ability to refuse transportation to the island. Plaintiffs were trapped midair on planes that they had boarded under false pretenses. Simply put, there was no way for them to escape.’) … and thus the Court finds that they have established a deprivation of a protected liberty interest.”

It won’t work for busses because they can get off along the way.

The Loser States of America will then make "getting off in a bus" illegal …

Wouldn't it make more sense to sue the idiots who put them on the bus/plane?

It would, but those idiots are hiding behind the strength state governments, harder to sue and get meaningful results. Sue the carriers and they see it as a bad business decision to get involved.

I wondered the same thing.
Kind of like the voting machine companies able to sue about lies but the government cannot.
