LATEST: DeSantis says he ‘cannot confirm’ reports of migrants taken to DelawareA Texas sheriff has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Governor Ron DeSantis’ choice to transport a group of migrants from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard, according to the sheriff’s office. San Antonio’s Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar gave a press conference Monday about the migrant theft. It is important to note that DeSantis is a Republican and Salazar is a Democrat. “The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office has opened an investigation into migrants who were lured from the Migrant Resource Center, located in Bexar County, Texas, and flown to Florida, where they were eventually left to their own devices in Martha’s Vineyard, MA,” the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office tweeted. “Additionally, we are working with private attorneys representing victims, as well as advocacy organizations regarding this incident. “Federal agencies that have concurrent jurisdiction, should the need arise.” Salazar said his office was investigating whether the migrants had been victims of a crime. they flew to Massachusetts. But officials had no prior knowledge of their arrival. Salazar believes the migrants were brought there dishonestly. “Our understanding is that a Venezuelan migrant received what we would call a bird dog fee for recruiting approximately 50 migrants in the area around a migrant resource center,” he said. “I’ll use the word lured, under false pretences, staying in a hotel for a few days…then eventually sent to Martha’s Vineyard…they were promised work, promised a solution to many of their problems.” A spokesperson for DeSantis’ office responded to the survey Monday, “The immigrants have been more than willing to leave Bexar County after being abandoned, homeless, and ‘left to fend for themselves.'” Florida gave them the opportunity to seek greener pastures in a sanctuary jurisdiction that afforded them greater resources, as we anticipated. Unless the MA National Guard abandoned these individuals, they were given housing, food food, clothing and more options to succeed after their unjust incitement in the United States, unlike the 53 immigrants who died in a truck found abandoned in Bexar County in June.
