Martha's Vineyard

Migrants can sue an air transport company that they say misled them when it flew them from Texas to Martha's Vineyard. A judge dismissed claims against Florida officials, including Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Sheriff Javier Salazar joined California Gov. Gavin Newsom in requesting the U.S. Department of Justice initiate an investigation to determine if laws were broken during migrant flights from Texas to Massachusetts and California.

Sheriff Javier Salazar has certified documentation with the federal government that would expedite the issuance of visas to allow the migrants to stay in the U.S. while the case is investigated.

The Latino advocacy groups also announced it will ask the U.S. Department of Justice to look into the flights that immigrants’ rights groups claimed were nothing more than political stunts.

In the days after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had dozens of migrants flown from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, the Migrant Resource Center found itself in a national spotlight.

Residents across Martha's Vineyard say they were scrambling to care for the nearly 50 immigrants, who arrived without warning at the local airport.

The plane flight carrying dozens of migrants and paid by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is the latest move by Republican officials to send migrants to Democrat-controlled cities.
