A Texas sheriff’s office has recommended that a San Antonio-area district attorney file criminal charges following an investigation into the transportation in the fall of 49 asylum seekers from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, allegedly on direction from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
It is not clear whom the charges would be filed against, but the case would include both felony and misdemeanor charges of unlawful restraint, according to the sheriff’s office.
“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,” said Bexar County Sheriff’s Deputy Johnny Garcia, a department spokesman. “We’re not naming the suspect at this time or the amount of charges that are being filed.”
Bexar County Criminal District Attorney Joe D. Gonzales released a statement about the recommendation on Tuesday, saying that convincing a jury that a crime has been committed beyond a reasonable doubt “may be lengthy and labor-intensive under the best of circumstances.”
He added that the review "will be thorough and our office will follow the law.”
The Washington Post reported previously that Bexar Sheriff Javier Salazar signed certificates for each of the migrants involved in the Martha’s Vineyard incident so they would be eligible for what is known as a “U visa” — a category established in 2000 and available to victims of crimes to enable them to provide information to authorities about illegal activity.

And what does desantis have to do with any of it? “On the direction of Ron DeSantis”? What Texas “authority” takes direction from a Florida governor?
Pure lawfare.
And another way the commies muddy the water and rile up the usual brain dead street commies. Doesn’t matter if those dots don’t connect....it’s against a Republican so....
If these filthy leftist animals are not going to stop they’ve crossed the line and they are going to keep charging republicans with crimes.
Of course republicans think what I’m about to say is crazy but they should start charging these district attorneys with crimes in return for misusing the criminal process.
Charge them with false arrest or kidnapping you start playing with the legal system you can turn anything into a crime which is exactly what they are doing with Trump. There are lawsuits and charges that can be brought for corruption and misuse of illegal process and all kinds of things.
This is a tactic used in South America to put the opposition in jail . Democrats are an evil force in our society and of course get away with it because of the media.
Jurisdiction. Texans sometimes think too big.
How about the feds’ midnight flights directed by DC?
Guy must be on the take from the cartels. An investigation into his finances should be opened immediately.
The police ARE NOT on our side.
If anything, charges should be brought against the authorities on Martha’s Vineyard for failing to take them, and doubtless for unlawful detention for the time they were there.
San Antonio voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012. Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Biden in 2020. It trends to the left, but is not the lefty mecca that Austin is. Its current mayor is an Independent.
Charging? One marvels at the restraint of those who are well aware of what these Soros DAs are up to.
How do you commit “unlawful restraint” of criminals by an authorized government agency?
Let that Sheriff take them to his house to feed & water.
Bexar Sheriff Javier Salazar - Democrat/communist bent on destroying America.
Any questions?
Shouldn’t a person illegally entered and in the US be properly be labeled a “criminal.” What legal rights does our Constitution grant a foreign criminal? I really don’t know.
I’ve been saying this for years. The police are what the government uses to make you conform to its will. And unless you agree with every little bit of tyranny that comes out of every level of government, the police should not be considered your friends.
Technically fkr the first offense it’s a civil issue if I am not mistaken…so it’s not a part of the “criminal process”
Yeah, I’m not seeing how they have jurisdiction here as Bexar County was not the county these illegals entered Texas, nor was that the county they were flown out of. The alleged crime did not take place in that county.
Of course, the real goal is to get the sound bites and do another ‘Culture of Corruption’ style blitz - and to do that, they really want to have charges filed somewhere in Texas.
