Were DeSantis’ migrant flights to Martha’s Vineyard a criminal operation? What do you think?
From The Hill. Florida officials are facing potential legal peril over GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis’s migrant relocation moves.
Have you taken your place on the wall?
California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) and Bexar County (Texas) Sheriff Javier Salazar, whose jurisdiction encompasses San Antonio, are focusing their criminal and civil investigations on whether migrants were lured onto flights under false pretenses.
Salazar’s office filed charges with the local district attorney Monday after a nine-month investigation into a Florida-run operation that transported 49 migrants from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. Bonta announced his own investigation over the weekend.
Both those investigations orbit DeSantis, former President Trump’s leading competitor for the 2024 GOP nomination, whose hard-line stance on immigration is a keystone of his campaign. …
After remaining uncharacteristically quiet on the issue for days, DeSantis’s office Tuesday took ownership of the latest flights, which carried migrants from Texas to Sacramento, Calif.
“From left-leaning mayors in El Paso, Texas, and Denver, Colorado, the relocation of those illegally crossing the United States border is not new,” division of emergency management spokesperson Alecia Collins said in a statement. “But suddenly, when Florida sends illegal aliens to a sanctuary city, it’s false imprisonment and kidnapping.”
Collins’s statement and a video released by DeSantis’s office characterized the flights as voluntary — a rare defensive move from the Republican presidential candidate — amid increasingly vocal challenges from the West. …
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) panned DeSantis for the flights in a tweet Monday, calling him a “small, pathetic man” and floating the idea of leveling kidnapping charges over the flights.
At a Wednesday roundtable event on the border in Arizona, DeSantis declined to address either the migrant flights or Newsom’s criticism, but did assail so-called “sanctuary” cities and states on immigration.
“That’s the policies that they’ve staken out,” he said. “And then what? When they have to deal with some of the fruits of that, they all of a sudden become very, very upset about that.” …
Though Bonta and Newsom are the highest-profile Democrats to raise criminal charges as a possible counterpunch to migrant relocations, Salazar has for months been pursuing an investigation into the first Florida-related migrant flight.
“[DeSantis] took these people from my hometown of San Antonio. So, San Antonio was always going to have some kind of jurisdiction because of that, and the sheriff indicated a few months ago that he was going to do a full investigation,” said Rep. Joaquín Castro (D-Texas). …
According to Salazar’s office, the recommended charges include several counts of unlawful restraint, some of which are misdemeanors and others felonies. …

The government does want an open Border, they need to take responsibility for the immigrants coming in and send them directly to DC.
The government needs to take care of the homeless here in USA first. The freedom we once had is being taken away rapidly. God save America!!!
Thank GOD for DeSantis who is protecting the well-being and financial health of the citizens of Florida! So…let me get this straight….Florida taxpayers are supposed to sacrifice the services they have paid tax dollars for to people who are in our country illegally? All of these people coming claim to be seeking asylum which is a lie! They have not all been persecuted! And if they have been, they should not be allowed to spend one dollar of tax money until they are legal! FATHER GOD please protect DeSantis from these persecutors, and send every illegal immigrant back to their own country in JESUS NAME! Amen!
Of course, DeSantis being a Republican is fodder for the dems and they will accuse him for any reason they can find. I approve of his actions. GO RON!
No, I believe that if the federal government wants open borders than all states have to do there part.
Until what? Do I have to give up my home to illegals also? Some cities (with ignorant people running them I might add) chose to be SANCTUARY CITIES for people coming into our country by breaking our laws! Why should cities that support LEGAL IMMIGRATION use their citizen’s tax dollars to take care of lawbreakers? Make it make sense! FATHER GOD please put a complete stop to this illegal immigration problem quickly, once and for all, by sending every last one of them back across the border they crossed to get here illegally in JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!

Martha’s Vineyard:
There was no room at the Inn
And what a sin
That was.
Because
They forgot that GOD was watching
He asked only once. . . . .
And we all saw their response . . . .

1. If DeSantis can’t return them to their home country, he can send them to a sanctuary city especially if they sign a paper saying that they are willing.
2. Charges should be brought against the leaders of Martha’s Vineyard for removing them from their island. They are a sanctuary island. Most if not all the people there voted for and support open borders. The rich people who live there are responsible for this problem. Florida isn’t.
3. These migrants came across illegally and you can say they invaded the U.S.. Most of them paid a lot of money to the criminal cartels to smuggle them across the border thus enriching the cartels. They should be told which blue city in a blue state to go to and wait for their asylum case to be adjudicated. If they are not being persecuted in their nations and ineligible for asylum, they should be sent home asap.
