Migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis were voluntarily taken to Joint Base Cape Cod, one of Massachusetts’ designated emergency shelters. The military wasn't involved in the move.
That’s because at no point was the military involved in the journey, said Iván Espinoza-Madrigal, the executive director of the group Lawyers for Civil Rights in Boston.
"Absolutely not. I personally escorted the migrants from the church in Martha's Vineyard to the base in Cape Cod. Lawyers for Civil Rights was involved in every step of the process, and it was seamlessly carried out with dignity for each individual and child," said Espinoza-Madrigal."They are now safely in the base, where they can have faster and easier access to resources and support.
Espinoza-Madrigal also said the immigrants are not being detained there."They are 100% voluntarily at the base," he said.that it is representing more than 30 of the immigrants, and it is also pushing for legal action against DeSantis and others, accusing them of using false pretenses to lure the immigrants onto a plane to cross state lines.An Instagram post Martha’s Vineyard"used the military to deport every last illegal migrant from their island.
That is not what happened. The Massachusetts governor, in coordination with state and local officials, offered to move the migrants, on a voluntary basis, to Joint Base Cape Cod, a military base that’s also one of the state’s designated emergency shelters. The site has the space to care for the immigrants that Martha’s Vineyard does not. The military was not involved in the voluntary transport.
In the context of immigration, a deportation refers to the removal of a person from the United States, not the relocation of people within the country.
