The migrants who crossed the southern U.S. border and were later flown in two planeloads to Martha’s Vineyard were given falsified addresses corresponding to “random homeless shelters” for their official paperwork, according to a Boston immigration attorney.
Rachel Self suggested Friday that this was done purposefully by Department of Homeland Security officials to make it more difficult for the migrants to stay in the country.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) took credit for arranging and funding the flights, which landed Wednesday afternoon at the wealthy island community off the coast of Massachusetts. He aimed to make a point about the surge in migration along the border with Mexico, even though his state does not abut the country.
The Miami Herald reported that Self is assisting with the migrants’ cases.
She told reporters that the group of 50 men, women and children - largely from Venezuela - were processed by DHS agents before leaving San Antonio.
Some of the migrants had specifically told the DHS agents that they had no mailing address in the United States, Self said.
They had allegedly been instructed to notify U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services - the wrong agency - once they changed addresses.
“This is especially troubling, as anyone with even the most basic understanding of the immigration proceedings knows that USCIS was not the agency with whom the migrants would have to record their addresses,” Self said during a press conference.

They were welcomed by islanders and given shelter, cell phones and other supplies, per The Washington Post.
The group was voluntarily relocated Friday to a military base on the mainland that is better equipped to house and feed people for weeks at a time, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) said.

Coming to every private community and island in the US.
I’m a little unclear why we are listening to anything that known and admitted lawbreakers say.
They may not be breaking the law. Most of these migrants are knocking on the door and requesting asylum, which isn't illegal.
Uh, no. Thy broke into the country. We could end this with a relatively small group of snipers. A few head shots as they cross the river would end it all in 2 days. Word would spread fast, that the US is no longer playing stupid games.
Many many are recruited by religious-name-only (good for fund raising!) NGOs. Their American officials should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting a crime!
> Just like Manzanar.
Yup! That old standby in the Democrat Party playbook: concentration camps!
