A Texas sheriff will investigate the flights arranged by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to transport dozens of Venezuelan migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, allegedly after making false promises of work and other services.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office announced that it had opened an investigation into last week’s incident, in which migrants were “lured from the Migrant Resource Center” in their county — which covers greater San Antonio — and flown to Florida and later on to Martha’s Vineyard, where they were “left to fend for themselves.”
Migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard from Florida said they were surprised when they arrived on the island on Sept. 15. “They were promised a solution to several of their problems,” Salazar said Monday. “They were taken to Martha’s Vineyard, from what we can gather, for little more than a photo op, video op, and then they were unceremoniously stranded in Martha’s Vineyard.”Requests for comment made late in the day to DeSantis’s communications office were not answered.
