Sheriff Javier Salazar has recommended charges of unlawful restraint over two politically charged flights of immigrants from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard.
A Venezuelan migrant is led onto a bus at St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Martha’s Vineyard. Forty-eight asylum-seekers were flown to the island from San Antonio on chartered flights arranged by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to make a political statement about the Biden administration’s immigration policies.

But her lawyers, in recent documents seeking to havedismissed, said the migrants complained about the flights because they don’t agree with DeSantis’ politics. The immigrants would have willingly boarded the planes no matter what they were told, Huerta’s lawyers argued, because they were living on the streets after they no longer qualified for help from the city of San Antonio’s migrant resource center.
