  • Migrants who were flown to Martha's Vineyard filed a lawsuit against Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday.
  • Migrants were made to believe that they would receive refugee benefits upon arrival, lawsuit says.
  • They received "official-looking materials" including a brochure "manufactured" by Florida officials.

Florida officials and agencies used several tactics to lure migrants on a chartered flight to Martha's Vineyard, including making a fake brochure that purports refugee benefits, according to a class-action lawsuit.

On September 14, 50 migrants, most of whom were from Venezuela, were flown in two chartered planes from Texas to Martha's Vineyard as part of a political stunt by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to criticize border policies under the Biden administration.

Now, a group of those migrants is taking action against DeSantis and other state officials and agencies in a class-action lawsuit filed on Tuesday. Lawyers representing the migrants accused DeSantis and Florida officials of plotting an "illegal scheme" to "defraud vulnerable immigrants to advance a political motive."

Part of that "scheme," according to the lawsuit, was to make "false promises and false representations" of potential employment and housing, among other benefits, upon arriving on Martha's Vineyard.

For example, just before they arrived on the island, migrants were given a "shiny, red folder" filled with "official-looking materials," including a brochure titled "Massachusetts Refugee Benefits."

The brochure contained misleading information on resettlement aid that, in reality, was not available for migrants seeking asylum in Massachusetts, as previously reported by Insider.

The lawsuit goes further by accusing DeSantis and other officials of fabricating the leaflet entirely.

"On information and belief, the brochure was manufactured by Defendants," the lawsuit read, adding that it "echoed the type of false representation" that migrants were given by word-of-mouth, such as assistance with housing, food, and employment in the first 90 days upon arrival in Massachusetts.

Brochure for Migrants
Lawyers for Civil Rights says migrants bound for Martha's Vineyard received this brochure promising cash, job placement and more.

According to the lawsuit, the brochure also took language from an existing state program, the Massachusetts Refugee Resettlement Program, which none of the migrants were eligible for.

"This brochure was not prepared by the Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants, or any other Massachusetts agency or immigration services organization," the lawsuit stated.

A representative from the state's Office for Refugees and Immigrants did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Welcome back to Insider Weekly, a roundup of some of our top stories. 

On the agenda today:

But first: The US is now a gerontocracy. (If that term is new to you, it's "a state, society, or group governed by old people.") A new four-month investigation from our politics team looks at the disastrous effect it's having on American democracy. Deputy editor Dave Levinthal explains below.

Our elected officials are pretty old. That's hardly news, deputy editor Dave Levinthal writes.

But our government has never been older than it is today. And the gap between US leaders and those being led is historically wide — at a time when voters will soon hit the polls for another election.

Insider's new "Red, White, and Gray" project explores the costs, benefits, and dangers of life in a democracy helmed by those of advanced age, where issues of profound importance to the nation's youth and future — technology, civil rights, energy, the environment — are largely in the hands of those whose primes have passed. Here's what we found:

  • Nearly one in four members of Congress are in their 70s or 80s, with key leaders born before or during World War II. 
  • Almost 50% of Americans are under the age of 40, but only about 5% of members of Congress are.
  • The brain of an 80-year-old is almost certainly different than that of a 45-year-old, neuroscience tells us.

Plus, federal lawmakers such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Lauren Boebert, and Jon Ossoff dished on why youth is an advantage in Washington, DC — and congressional staffers described the lengths to which they've gone to keep aged lawmakers focused, engaged, and sometimes upright.

The rise of the 'bait-and-switch' job interview

Are you sure that new employee is the same person you interviewed? 

According to recruiters, employers, and job applicants interviewed by Insider, an increasing number of candidates are employing stand-ins to do their job interviews for them. Then, on the first day of work, the real candidate shows up in place of the stand-in — and may have no idea what they're doing.

How some applicants are cheating the system.

Some wedding vendors are turning on The Knot

The Knot promises to walk couples through "every part of planning," while getting businesses "in front of 13 million couples," its site says. But The Knot is in the business of selling ads, not producing results, and some companies are questioning the value of listing on the site.

Several business owners told Insider they weren't getting a return on their investments and were ready to take their ad dollars elsewhere — a shift that could dethrone a behemoth of the $ 3 billion nuptials industry.

Why The Knot is losing its dominance.

Remote work is killing Florida as a retirement paradise

Florida retirement

Rebecca Zisser/Insider

With warm temperatures and low living costs, Florida has been a haven for retirees for decades. But between April 2020 and April 2021, more than 300,000 people moved to the state, making it the top destination for people relocating states during the first year of the pandemic.

Now, rising home prices — driven in part by the influx of remote workers — are threatening America's retirement dream, and retirees are feeling the squeeze. 

What's happening in Florida.

This week's quote:

"After more than two months of browbeating, exhaustion, and a tireless sojourn to make my bosses happy while bingeing way too much caffeine, I was ready to walk away and give it all up."

CBD OIL rose in popularity last year after people learnt of its reported health benefits and the fact it’s a legal substance in the UK. But what is it exactly and what are the benefits? What else should you be aware of?

CHEESE doesn’t often have a great reputation when it comes to healthy eating, but contrary to what many people believe, the dairy product does contain some nutrients vital to the human body. Here are three health benefits of cheese and why you should include some in your diet.

But what if you could enroll in health insurance at work by talking to a computer? You’re asked a few simple questions about your family, your lifestyle and your medical history, and within nine minutes, you’re done.

Enter Jellyvision and Alex, a virtual benefits counselor powered by artificial intelligence to help employees better understand their benefits packages. In the complicated and ever-evolving landscape of health care, Alex shows employees which medical plans can save them the most money based on their personal situation. Signing up for health care becomes efficient and even somewhat enjoyable.

AI has its shortcomings, but Jellyvision has made strides in tackling the minutiae of health insurance. Not bad for a company that made its name with cheeky trivia CD-ROMs, but has executed a remarkable turnabout under CEO Amanda Lannert.

Seth Meyers got rejected from a writing gig at Jellyvision in the ’90s — that’s how good the talent was.

Amanda Lannert

The Chicago-based Jellyvision rose to prominence in the 1990s with games like You Don’t Know Jack and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. The company had a small console game business, but by 2002, it was flailing as gaming giants like Xbox and PlayStation began to take over and Jellyvision couldn’t keep up. At one point, Lannert wrote her own severance letter. “I tasted failure,” Lannert says. “It took me three weeks to tell my parents because I was so ashamed.”

Jellyvision founder Harry Gottlieb was somehow able to raise $ 1.6 million in funding at the last possible second. Lannert, 46, got to work on shifting the company’s strategy and Gottlieb appointed her CEO — a position she still holds today. Despite the pivot from gaming to benefits management, the two aren’t so unrelated. Jellyvision was originally founded as an educational gaming company, in hopes of making boring subjects more engaging for kids. Returning to founding principles, Lannert figured: Why not do the same for adults? By 2017, more than 1,000 companies were using Alex to make decisions affecting $ 110 billion worth of insurance premiums.

Growing up in Charlottesville, Virginia, Lannert had no thoughts of running a company. She originally planned to be a physician, but after spending a year abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland, during college, she got behind on her pre-med courses. “I had the time of my life, drinking beer and chasing boys, but my dad wouldn’t pay for another year of school,” Lannert says, laughing. Never easily defeated, she quickly changed gears and began studying advertising. “I got a job at Leo Burnett and was wearing my shoulder-padded power suit to work the Monday after graduation,” Lannert says.

Five and a half years later, she was recruited to work at Jellyvision by the company’s then president, thanks to a connection with Gottlieb. Lannert worked her way up from the marketing department at a thrilling time for the industry. “Seth Meyers got rejected from a writing gig at Jellyvision in the ’90s — that’s how good the talent was,” she says. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was one of the best-selling CD-ROM games of all time.

Alex smart phone retirement

The company’s reboot was a difficult one. Lannert survived with extreme frugality — “You’ll never see an Aeron chair on my watch” — and a clear vision of where to go. Alex launched in 2013 and the feedback has been strong. John Ricci, senior HR specialist at the Hershey Co., has been using Alex to enroll Hershey employees in the company’s benefits program for nearly four years now. “Alex is simple to use,” says Ricci. “Employees trust it because it’s unadulterated advice.”

But artificial intelligence is a tough business. While AI has seen great improvement in decision-making — in 2016, Google’s AlphaGo software beat a top-ranked player of one of the most mathematically complex board games in existence — there’s still room for error. IBM learned that the hard way when it deployed AI bot Watson to help diagnose and recommend cancer treatments. Physicians at several hospitals around the globe found that Watson was still struggling to learn and identify different forms of cancer.

While Lannert and Jellyvision are working with lower stakes, the risk of Alex steering someone in the wrong direction is always there. But Lannert isn’t worried about it. “The biggest risks to me aren’t in machine error but in human error,” she says. Employees might overstate their health, for example, or choose the most expensive plan because they believe it’s best. When machine learning can help us avoid those mistakes, it “becomes our friend,” Lannert says.

Tackling another thorny problem in the modem workplace, Lannert is also a member of Chicago venture capital firm Hyde Park Angels, where she focuses on investing in women-led companies. Lannert says she’s sick of CEOs blaming the lack of women in their organizations on a pipeline problem. “If we change who writes checks, we change who gets checks,” Lannert says. “Women can [invest] and are investing.”

A married mother of three, Lannert jokes that even though the family travels internationally once a year and cooks together every week, her teenage kids “want nothing to do with me.” Her balance comes because she’s “maniacally focused on execution and not easily distracted,” says Troy Henikoff, managing director at Math Venture Partners, who’s known Lannert for 20 years. “She can do anything she wants in life.”

In 2017, Jellyvision was voted best company culture in Chicago by the Chicago Tribune, and Lannert credits a team of “future awesome CEOs here.” All of whom now know a little more than jack about employee benefits.

“I SEE PATIENTS every day who are going to have babies because they work at Facebook,” says Peter Klatsky of Spring Fertility clinic in Silicon Valley. Tech giants now include egg-freezing and in vitro fertilisation in their employees’ health coverage. But even as high-earning Americans have the cost of making a baby covered by their companies, many low earners cannot get paid leave to look after theirs.

Since the end of the first world war, American workers have seen a steady rise in benefits. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, “supplements” to wages, which include most of today’s benefits but exclude performance bonuses, rose from 1.4% of total compensation in 1917 to 17.5% in 2000. Using a broader measure that includes performance bonuses as well as paid leave, overtime, health insurance and contributions to retirement plans, that share has risen further since: from 27% of compensation in 2000 to 32% now.
