It turns out that many of them have have gotten special visas and work permits as crime victims cooperating with law enforcement.
The crime in question is (Drumroll, please) DeSantis and his evil minions™ kidnapping the folks using deception and shipping them to Martha's Vineyard.
Some of the 49 migrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration are now able to work legally in the United States and have temporary protections from deportation because they are considered victims of a potential crime, their attorney says.Seriously, I am beginning to wonder if someone on DeSantis' staff set him up.
The migrants are eligible for protection because they applied for a special kind of visa meant for crime victims who are helping law enforcement investigate suspected criminal activity. They applied for what are known as U visas last year after they said they had been tricked into taking charter flights from San Antonio, Texas to the Massachusetts island with false promises of jobs and other aid, said Rachel Self, an attorney for the migrants.
The migrant flight program was designed to remove “unauthorized aliens” from Florida. But critics, including immigration advocacy groups, have pointed out that the migrants had legal status in the United States as asylum seekers and that they were found in Texas, not Florida.
DeSantis has maintained the flights were conducted lawfully and that migrants boarded the flights “voluntarily.” Yet the recruitment tactics used in the first of the governor’s migrant relocation program have resulted in a criminal investigation by the Bexar County sheriff in Texas and a federal lawsuit by some of the migrants who have claimed they were deceived by the state.
The entire process seems to be designed to pierce any vestige of sovereign immunity that the Florida governor could claim.
The migrants already had visas and they were in another state when yet were abducted.
Hoping to see Governor Heel Lift frog matched out of his office in handcuffs.
