Texas sheriff recommends criminal charges in DeSantis’ migrant flights to Martha’s Vineyard

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.

I bet Trump and his simps on this site totally support this Sheriff.

That sounds straight out of DU. You’ve got it bad.

And for the record, I loved DeSantis sending those migrants to Martha’s Vineyard.

We have to wait and see if it was a dumb decision.
Yeah...sort of.

As the ticket won't be Trump/DeSantis, your statement is approximate but not definitive.

But the problem is illegals are very transitory. They move around all the time. They don’t stay put. Taking 40 illegals to Martha Vineyard will do exactly nothing in regards to this epic, 40+ year invasion of our country.

In fact, I’d bet a cup of coffee the illegals have been the elites home and yard servants in the Martha’s Vineyard region for decades! The wealthy love hiring these house servants.

Is this supposed to make people want to vote for Pres. Trump? That would be counterproductive, since it’s one of the reasons people like Gov. DeSantis. You seemed fine with it when you first posted an article about the illegals arriving in MV back when it happened. Have you changed your mind simply because the two men are political rivals?

This is nothing…wait until the illegal invaders start holding office and law enforcement positions! This nation is DONE! Our country now holds the title of a third world nation. In the span of over 2yeas the evil progressives, RINOS along with the veggie blew up this country to smithereens!

This is the second time this same sheriff has pulled a political stunt.

I would imagine this “sheriff” is a cartel employee.

In spring of 2022, #DeSantis had the chance to join #Trump on a 2024 ticket together.

Trump and DeSantis cannot run together without forfeiting the Florida Elector votes, as per the Constitution.

I’m also a DeSantis supporter but fail to see why you are upset with this article being posted. Or why you attribute it to helping Trump.

The Democrats’ hypocritical hue and cry of the illegals in MV and how fast they were removed from the “welcoming” sanctuary was made crystal clear to all Americans via this flight. DeSantis could not legally fly them out of the country, but he could keep them out of his state.

Don’t we want all of the candidates to be able to be proactive and think outside of the box? Would it have been “political grandstanding” if Trump had done it as a governor?

“as per the Constitution.”

What constitution? We’re not using a constitution anymore.

Get real...You don’t have clue. Wealthy areas like Newport Beach, Palos Verdes, Brentwood, Beverly Hills, Malibu et al, are crawling with illegals...I’m sure it’s the same in all wealthy venues in most other states.

A tiny example? Super wealthy Meg Whitman...Look it up.

Always nice to see the Trumpies, who say they love free speech, run to the mods to tattletale. Lol. Trump sides with Disney and praises Charlie Christ so it’s only logical that he (and you) would support this liberal Sheriff against DeSantis.

Texas Sheriff? “You have no power here, Gandalf the Gray”. Also, “F” off. Finally, there is nothing illegal about it, unlike the failure to uphold immigration law.

"I bet Trump and his simps on this site totally support this Sheriff." You are so wrong!
President Trump Stopped the illegals more than any President to date!

So while your head is so far up DeSantis,even most agree when the Biden Regime reversed everything President Trump did to secure our Borders and it was working,Abbott as did follower Ronnie did the same about moving these illegals to blue states!

You defactor are full of hatred for President Trump,no matter the topic! Good Eve!

Don't you know, it's only OK when the Feds do it.
Anyone else who transports illegals go to jail.
