While speaking during a news conference in the Panhandle, Gov. Ron DeSantis placed the blame on President Joe Biden and Democratic leaders for their policies.
Immigrants gather with their belongings outside St. Andrews Episcopal Church, Wednesday Sept. 14, 2022, in Edgartown, Mass., on Martha's Vineyard. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday flew two planes of immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, escalating a tactic by Republican governors to draw attention to what they consider to be the Biden administration's failed border policies.
“Think about the governor of Florida, one of the largest states in the nation, spending his time hatching a secret plot to ship up 50 immigrants here, families, children as young as 4, and use them as political pawns just so he could get on Tucker Carlson and beat his chest about how he’s tough on immigration,” Fernandes said.
“I can confirm the two planes with illegal immigrants that arrived in Martha’s Vineyard today were part of the state’s relocation program to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations,” she wrote.
“Martha’s Vineyard community services had 50 people sort of literally walk up to their front door,” said Barbara Rush with St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. “Martha’s Vineyard is a really small community, our year-around population is about 20,000.”
