The woman, who has not been officially named, was found dead by emergency services at the scene in Melaque Bay, Cihuatlán municipality, on Saturday, according to a statement from the local civil protection and fire service, posted on Facebook. One of the victim’s legs had been severed, according to the statement, which said the injury appeared to have been caused by a shark attack. The Cihuatlán municipal government also warned people to stay away from local beaches, in a statement posted on Facebook.

Lawyers who represent Ms. Huerta in related civil lawsuits did not respond to a request for comment. In legal filings, they have said the migrants only complained about their trips because they disagree with Mr. DeSantis’s politics. They were receptive to the free trips, the filings said, because they were hungry, exhausted and had few other options for help by the time they were approached. Legal analysts said this was probably because local law enforcement officials felt their role was limited in scope. From the beginning, Sheriff Javier Salazar has emphasized that he was looking at the people who may have broken the law in his own jurisdiction.

A group of migrants was flown to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts last year. Ron DeSantis and other Florida officials said a federal lawsuit over migrants the state flew from Texas to Massachusetts last year should be dismissed, arguing in legal filings the Boston court lacks jurisdiction and that migrants were told where the planes were going. Perla Huerta, a woman migrants said recruited them onto the Martha’s Vineyard-bound flights, filed a separate motion in the Boston federal court Tuesday to dismiss the case. The lawsuit was brought by some of the 49 migrants and an advocacy group in September. The contractor Florida hired to arrange the flights and the company’s chief executive also asked for the case to be dismissed.
Attorneys for migrants flown to Massachusetts under a Florida program in September have added several defendants and new allegations to a federal lawsuit challenging the operation. The amended complaint, filed Tuesday in Boston, newly named defendant Perla Huerta as the alleged lead recruiter in Texas, where migrants were enlisted for the two flights. It also added the contractor that arranged the flights, Vertol Systems Company Inc., and its chief executive, James Montgomerie; Lawrence Keefe, Florida’s public safety czar; and James Uthmeier, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ‘s chief of staff.
