Texas sheriff recommends criminal charges in DeSantis’ migrant flights to Martha’s Vineyard
Miami Herald on Yaahoo ^ | June 5, 2023, 5:34 pm | Sarah Blaskey

A Texas sheriff’s department has recommended that the district attorney in Bexar County bring criminal charges after completing its investigation into the first iteration of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ so-called migrant relocation program. Those flights sent 49 asylum seekers, most of them Venezuelans, from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, last September.

According to a statement provided to the Miami Herald, the Bexar County Sheriff completed its criminal investigation into the on-the-ground operation that allegedly lured migrants onto the flights with false promises of jobs and opportunities on the other end.

“The case filed includes both felony and misdemeanor charges of Unlawful Restraint,” according to the statement. “At this time, the case is being reviewed by the DA’s office. Once an update is available, it will be provided to the public.”

Now it’s up to prosecutors in Bexar County, which includes San Antonio, to decide whether to follow the sheriff’s recommendation. The district attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

False promises of jobs and opportunities on the other end

It’s not right, nay, it’s ILLEGAL that these illegals have been bamboozled and denied the jobs and opportunities in the paradise that is San Antonio. Meantime, old people are being victimized hourly by online and phone scammers, child labor laws are being broken and girls are forced into sex slavery.

But let’s “white knight” over some illegals that got a free ride and some food on the way to a sanctuary city or state.

Why aren’t these bass turds going after the “coyotes” (Southwestern Hyenas) and bottom feeding La Raza Neanderthal “advocates” that are smuggling the ILLEGAL ALIENS in across the border? They violated America’s laws. Americans need to tell the “sheriff” to recuse himself and go to hell because bringing these illegals in helps him get reelected. More Mexican voters to keep his ass in office are in his interest.

“into the on-the-ground operation that allegedly lured migrants onto the flights with false promises of jobs and opportunities on the other end.”

So how about Biden enticing millions of “Illegal Aliens”, a true description, to come here on the promise they will get “free everything” like cell phones, transportation to any city they want to collect welfare in, medical care and education for their children, rooms in the finest hotels in the country, and in some cases monetary paychecks for doing nothing. Maybe I should declare my self an “Undocumented Immigrant”.

He’s right. DeSantis never had any intention of aligning with Trump and 75 million Trump supporters...DeSantis is only there for one reason.

DeSantis should start brushing illegals to this sheriffs community, drop them off at the sheriffs office

Ay cheriff Salazar. What are the “advocates” luring them across the border with into America, biatch? Stop being a dumbass and use your noggin’ for something other than a hat rack.

The solution is not bussing or flying them further into our interior, as they’ll scatter to all points. Duh! A stupid ass political grandstanding ploy.

There is only one solution and that is to arrest and deport them back across the border.

Everything else is bull sh*t.

I go with the first to break the law is the one who is at fault. There would be no unlawful restraint if the criminal invaders weren’t here to begin with.

Please see post #20-that sheriff is a publicity-loving democrat lackey in Blue SA who would not do a favor for any republican-for any reason. I live 2 counties away in BFE, but even here his love of the limelight is ridiculed...

Absolutely agree, all illegals in the US should be deported. The problem is we still that idiots like the sheriff who thinks they should be allowed to come in, and that is wrong to do anything to impede them. So, let’s send them all to him and see how he likes having his community overrun.

conservative98: In spring of 2022, #DeSantis had the chance to join #Trump on a 2024 ticket together. Instead, in summer of 2022, upon promise of Trump indictment, he reversed course & decided to contest Trump instead. It will go down as one of the dumbest political decisions in recent history.— Robert Barnes (@barnes_law) June 5, 2023

Trump and his Magadonian brain trust have found a winning formula - aligning with the Democrats going after DeSantis. Check out the spiffy new Magadonian uniforms.

Oh sure, that’ll solve the problem...Lets just transport them all over the country, when they’re already all over country.

Political grandstanding at it’s best.
