Some residents of the wealthy liberal enclave of Martha's Vineyard decried a move by Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to fly dozens of migrants to the vacation island as a political ‘stunt’
In what the White House and residents of the vacation enclave called a "political stunt", Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took credit for the two flights. Tracking website FlightAware said they originated in San Antonio, Texas.
He said the woman, who also put them up in a hotel, did not provide a last name or any affiliation, but asked them to sign a liability waiver.Residents of Martha's Vineyard, a small island south of Boston, were rallying to help the confused migrants and offered housing at St. Andrews Episcopal Church, sometimes used as a homeless shelter in winter.
"It's a stunt to make political points and not caring about who gets hurt," said Mike Savoy, 58, a nurse at Martha's Vineyard Regional High School. On Thursday, two buses sent by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, another Republican facing re-election, dropped off migrants in a Washington D.C. neighborhood not far from Vice President Kamala Harris' official residence. Volunteers who were awaiting their arrival at another location said they had no warning.
The use of resources from Florida to move migrants from Texas to Massachusetts raises legal concerns including what information was relayed to the migrants before they boarded airplanes and whether they were coerced, immigration law expert Pratheepan Gulasekaram of Santa Clara University School of Law told Reuters.
