![]() If the migrants were misled, the scheme to transport them to Martha's Vineyard could constitute fraud, false imprisonment, or kidnapping. It would mean that the flights were not just heartless, but potentially criminal. The allegation that the migrants were misled is legally significant. According to the migrants, a woman who identified herself as Perla also said that, if they traveled to Boston, they could receive "expedited work papers." Several migrants told NPR they were told the flight was going to Boston, not Martha's Vineyard. But many of the migrants told reporters that they were misled about the nature of the flights. So these migrants are able to voluntarily travel within the United States. The migrants are legally permitted to remain in the United States while their cases are being considered by immigration courts. They are now seeking asylum from the repressive authoritarian regime in Venezuela. ![]() While DeSantis and his administration repeatedly referred to the migrants as "illegal immigrants," the migrants surrendered to immigration officials after crossing the border into Texas. In the aftermath of the flights, a key issue of contention is whether the migrants boarded the flights freely and voluntarily. "ĭeSantis reportedly sent a videographer along for the ride, and Fox News obtained "exclusive footage of the migrants’ arrival." The charter flights appear to be inspired by a Tucker Carlson monologue from July 26, in which the notoriously xenophobic host suggested sending migrants to Martha's Vineyard in " huge numbers. On Friday, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker (R) facilitated their voluntary relocation to Joint Base Cape Cod, which is "a safe temporary accommodation appropriate for the specific needs of families and individuals." Instead, they rallied together to provide shelter, food, clothing, and other necessities for the group. "Their virtue signaling is a fraud." But the people in Martha's Vineyard did not go berserk. "When people are brought to their front door, they go berserk," DeSantis said. The migrants were used as political pawns in the hopes of provoking a negative reaction from a liberal community. Last Wednesday, two planes landed in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, and dropped off about 50 migrants from Venezuela. The documents suggest that the flights were not just a callous political stunt but potentially a crime. Popular Information has obtained documentary evidence that migrants from Venezuela were provided with false information to convince them to board flights chartered by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R).
