Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' office says flights to the Massachusetts island are an effort to 'transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations.'
Thursday, September 15, 2022 2:45PMFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis' office says flights to the Massachusetts island are an effort to "transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations."Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday flew two planes of immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, escalating a tactic by Republican governors to draw attention to what they consider to be the Biden administration's failed border policies.
While DeSantis' office didn't elaborate on their legal status, many migrants who cross the border illegally from Mexico are temporarily shielded from deportation after being freed by U.S. authorities to pursue asylum in immigration court - as allowed under U.S law and international treaty - or released on humanitarian parole.
State Rep. Dylan Fernandes, who represents Martha's Vineyard, tweeted: "Our island jumped into action putting together 50 beds, giving everyone a good meal, providing a play area for the children, making sure people have the healthcare and support they need. We are a community that comes together to support immigrants."
DeSantis, who is mentioned as potential presidential candidate, appears to be taking the strategy to a new level by using planes and choosing Martha's Vineyard, whose harbor towns that are home to about 15,000 people are far less prepared than New York or Washington for large influxes of migrants.
