The judge determined there was insufficient personal jurisdiction over the governor and his administration, but the case against the contracted aviation company, Vertol Systems Co., will continue. The lawsuit, initiated by the migrants and advocacy organizations, alleged misinformation regarding housing and job prospects. Governor DeSantis' office has yet to comment on the ruling, which represents a legal win for him, although scrutiny remains on Vertol's actions.
