So the other day DeSantis sent a plane load of immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard.

the White House has called it a cruel stunt.
Julian Cyr, the state representative serving Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket made the following statement:
"This is an island that is in the business of welcoming people, but it’s pretty disgusting that a state or a governor or whoever this is would capitalize on the unfortunate, dire circumstances of these families who are just looking for a better life. To capitalize that for a political stunt or for a 'gotcha' moment. That’s just disgusting.”
Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Ed Markey wrote in a post on social media:
"Gov. Ron DeSantis could learn a lesson from Massachusetts on what patriotism and liberty really look like if he weren’t so busy using humans as props in a cruel stunt to buoy his pathetic political aspirations. To those who’ve just landed: we gladly embrace you."
Barb Rush and others at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church on Summer Street in Edgartown have been working all day to help the families she says are from Venezuela, some with children as young as 2.
"Many of them seem overwhelmed," Rush said. "We've received calls from restaurants offering food, people trying to help. It's amazing."
But perhaps there is even more to this Stunt. It is a violation of 18 USC 1324 to transport an illegal alien across state lines. Abbot also pulled the same stunt. They think they’re being funny. But they may have committed a felony. Wonder if DoJ will investigate.
Analysis: The surprising details behind DeSantis' and Abbott's immigration stunts
Republican governors are in a cynical competition to outdo each other and send migrants from the US border by bus to New York, Washington, DC, Chicago and, now, by plane to Martha's Vineyard. Some of the details of the transport may surprise you.
