Human trafficker DeSantis

 DeSantis’ Migrant Stunt Is Kidnapping by Another Name

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew about 50 Venezuelan immigrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday night, as part of a Republican effort to expose—in the words of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)—liberal “hypocrisy” for (supposedly) supporting pro-immigrant border policies but (supposedly) being outraged over the immigrants coming to their communities.

But Sen. Cruz is wrong. There’s no outrage over helping these people.

The outrage is over the fraud used to trick these vulnerable people into the political stunt. A woman presumably hired by the state of Florida reportedly lured the immigrants onto the plane with free food and promises that they would get “expedited work papers” when they arrived. They were also told ample housing and jobs awaited them on the small island.

This was a crime perpetrated on some of the most vulnerable people in this country.

Playing politics with the most vulnerable population they can find. For Republicans, isn't that just "Thursday"?

It's not kidnapping by another name. It's kidnapping.

Technically it's human trafficking. 

DeSantis could be charged with kidnap after moving migrants to Martha’s Vineyard 

The Department of Justice has been tapped by California Governor Gavin Newsom to investigate whether Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s controversial decision to send two flights of migrants north would amount to “kidnapping”.

“I strongly urge the U.S. Department of Justice (US DOJ) to open an investigation into possible criminal or civil violations of federal law based on this alleged fraudulent scheme,” Gov Newsom wrote in a 15 September letter addressed to US Attorney General Merrick Garland.

If Matt Gaetz can transport children across state lines and no one does shit, why do we think anyone is going to care about DeSantis doing it with migrants?

These immigrants were lied to and coerced under false pretenses onto these planes. Florida/Texas knew by transporting them across the country they would have no way of making their next immigration hearing, thus being the exclusive reason for their failure to appear in court.

There must be consequences. If I did this exact thing, there would be.
