Lawyers for Civil Rights filed suit in federal court in Massachusetts against the state of...
Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida tosses an autographed hat into the audience at a Republican rally in Green Bay, Wis., Sept. 18, 2022. The ambitious governor is betting that by flying two planeloads of migrants from Texas to Martha?•s Vineyard, the moneyed Massachusetts vacation spot, he will not hurt his e-election campaign in Florida and will inject the issue of border security into the midterm elections in November.
Last week, DeSantis took credit for sending two chartered jets with nearly 50 immigrants — most of them from Venezuela — to Martha’s Vineyard, catching officials there off-guard and setting off a mad scramble to get the migrants food, clothing and shelter., a centralized social-services and transportation operation for asylum seekers flooding the Texas border who have been processed and released by the U.S. Border Patrol.
Once the planes landed, those who’d lured them to travel to Martha’s Vineyard disappeared, leaving the immigrants to discover the offers of assistance had all been a ruse to exploit them for political purposes, the suit said.
