'Not only is it morally criminal, there are legal implications around fraud, kidnapping, deprivation of liberty, and human trafficking.' RepDylan
"Not only is it morally criminal, there are legal implications around fraud, kidnapping, deprivation of liberty, and human trafficking," said state Rep. Dylan Fernandes.Massachusetts state Rep. Dylan Fernandes said Sunday that he has made progress in his push for a federal investigation into Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' decision to send four dozen migrants to Martha's Vineyard last week, sharing on social media that the U.S. attorney for his state is also calling for a probe.
Fernandes, a Democrat, called the Republican governor's actions"morally criminal" and warned,"There are legal implications around fraud, kidnapping, deprivation of liberty, and human trafficking.
The planes had originated in Texas but it was quickly determined that DeSantis' office had arranged the flights as part of what a spokesperson called Florida's"transportation" program for migrants. DeSantis is one of several Republican governors who have sent refugees and immigrants to heavily Democratic states as they complain about Democrats' immigration policies.
