It was this flight to the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard last week that has a sheriff in Texas launching a criminal investigation.Sheriff Salazar wants to talk to the 48 Venezuelan migrants who boarded the chartered jets from San Antonio. He believes they were lured onto the plane under false pretense, although, he also says it's too soon to know if laws were broken.
"We put a $5,000 reward for this woman named Perla, who was the one that enticed the immigrants to get on the jets," he said. "They gave them a map that I saw of Martha's Vineyard with an ‘X’ for the refugee center. It was a parking lot," he said.
