A spokesperson for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis confirmed to Fox News late Thursday that the people on the planes that landed on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts are whom the governor called 'illegal immigrants.'
MARTHA'S VINEYARD — Local leaders say two plane landings here Thursday appear to be carrying Venezuelan nationals sent to Massachusetts by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who claims undocumented immigrants belong in progressive states.
"Yes, Florida 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," DeSantis' communications director, Taryn Fenske, told Fox News Digital. The crowd wouldn't fit in the building so staffers gave them water and snacks in the parking lot while a plan was made. Ted Cruz wants to send migrants from the Mexican border to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket"This all started to transpire late afternoon. They came unannounced," said The Rev. Vincent G. “Chip” Seadale, rector ofin Edgartown where the migrants were to sleep Wednesday night.
At about 7:15 p.m. Wednesday, state Rep. Dylan Fernandes, D-Falmouth, tweeted from the ferry:"Currently immigrants are being dropped off on Martha's Vineyard by chartered flights from Texas. Many don't know where they are. They say they were told they would be given housing and jobs. Islanders were given no notice but are coming together as a community to support them."
Cooper, head of the Democratic Council of Martha's Vineyard, said,"It is disgusting and repulsive that these people were herded like cattle onto a plane, not told where they were going and our community was not notified. This is not a joke, this is insanely ridiculous." "I think anyone hearing about this story who wants to help should pay attention to local news reports," he said, "because we may need meals cooked in the next few days."The Martha's Vineyard Times is reporting
