As expected, the Lawfare ideologues have weaponized the legal system to grant special visa status to the illegal aliens flown to Martha’s Vineyard by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The aliens have been granted lawful U.S. residency status via “U VISA’s” reserved for victims of crimes.
Their applications as criminally trafficked victims come as the result of Texas Sherriff Javier Salazar certifying they were victims of an illegal human trafficking operation led by the Florida governor. As an outcome, Ron DeSantis is under investigation by federal authorities and Texas authorities for violations of human trafficking laws.
[Picture Source – With More Detail]
The federal government, U.S. Treasury Dept, has an open investigation into the funds used by DeSantis to conduct the transfer operation. “Documents indicate Florida officials paid Destin, Fla.-based Vertol Systems Co. $1.56 million for the Martha’s Vineyard flight and possibly for a flight to Delaware, the home state of President Joe Biden, that ultimately didn’t happen.” [link] Meanwhile Texas Sheriff Salazar is conducting a criminal investigation for human trafficking.
The 50 aliens have essentially been designated as victims and received the special VISA’s protecting them from extradition. They are now considered witnesses for use by the Treasury investigation and Texas criminal probe.
WASHINGTON DC – Texas Sheriff Javier Salazar on Thursday certified that the group of migrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., last month by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) were victims of a crime, qualifying them to obtain a visa.
Salazar, the Bexar County sheriff, submitted certification documents that will allow the nearly 50 migrants to apply for U visas, which grant crime victims nonimmigrant status in the U.S. to ensure that they are available as witnesses during investigations or trials.
“Based upon the claims of migrants being transported from Bexar County under false pretenses, we are investigating this case as possible Unlawful Restraint,” Salazar said in a statement to GBH News.
The Venezuelan nationals transported to Martha’s Vineyard were reportedly given false information about where they were going and the support they would receive at the destination.
The certification comes a day after the Department of the Treasury announced that it would investigate DeSantis’s usage of COVID-19 relief money and the “allowability” of funding migrant transportation with that money or interest earned on it. (read more)
It was obvious from shortly after the first wave of aliens was transferred from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard that progressive Lawfare operatives had found an angle to use the transfers as a targeting mechanism against Governor Ron DeSantis. That’s likely why the second set of flights to Delaware never took place.
More corruption by the Leftist Democrats – they just do not care about laws or ethics. Just look at Pelosi.
Please don’t make me
Yes, and look at all the criminal ways that Gov. Neusance in California has used his Covid funds. The DOJ sure picks and chooses those to persecute. They are all Republicans. That brands them as outlaws under this stupid Attorney General Meritless Garbage.
The Texas angle of this one is near and dear to my concerns because the democrats are going great guns to remove the current Texas AG Ken Paxton as well as flip the State Blue. In fact the ONLY Platform and Sign slogans I have seen say 1-thing – “Make Texas Blue” … it is their sole stated objective, the rest is attacks on republicans.
Paxton’s democrat opponent is Rochelle Garza who is a partner in the very large US Wide Garza & Garza Law Firm. This law firm is extremely active in Immigrant Rights activism in Bexar County, TX (i.e. San Antonio, Texas), with strong political and financial ties to fellow democrat Sheriff Salzar. The Garza and Gaza Law Firm also is active in Collin County, TX (i.e. Plano, TX) and is leading the effort in support of the SEC investigation of AG Paxton that centers on plaintiffs in Plano, TX.
DeSantis may have just put Texas Republicans in a bad spot as they have to “investigate” him in parallel with the US Government and State of MA investigations. I understand what DeSantis is doing but he efforts appear to be taking an uninvited dump in your neighbors mess kit. The Major TX Media outlets are 100% behind the democrats, with TX News Room Spinning Heads, News Paper Writers, TX Based TV Show Hosts and Celebrities acting as surrogates for democrat candidates (candidates who stay out of the public eye except for 10 second video clips).
Large urbanized metropolitan regions seem to attract people who have an attraction to social welfare largesse and will vote for anyone who offers it to them. If they can’t legally vote, it behooves them to get to the point where they can vote for those offerings. My hope and prayer is that those immigrants see the benefits of their industrious labor as an opportunity to better themselves, and not becoming the lapdogs of those liberal “progressive” politicians who want to stay in power. Becoming lapdogs will only get them the scraps thrown their way by those poiticians.
A couple of Venezuelan ministers with whom I have corresponded from time to time told me once that if good government within a capitalist system were to become the norm in Venezuela, a great number of the people would not be ready to live in that context.
Many have made peace with the corruption and have figured out how to get by.
That doesn’t differ much from America. Learn how to get by in a corrupt, rigged system.
Exactly right. The love of freedom must be resident in the People, willing to defend it in all ways. We no longer have that. I’m moving of the US to another country where I’m not regarded as a milk cow for the state.
I wonder which other country you envision moving to that does not consider its citizens as milk cows?
Desantis should have just done it with illegals in his own state instead of shopping for ones out of Texas. That was the boneheaded part of it that I just don’t understand why.
Illegals are not arriving in droves in FL due to geography. Gov Greg Abbott did not have the spine to do what DeSantis did. That left DeSantis having to ship illegals of the USA who happened to enter TX. The operation proved the point that liberals only want to talk about diversity-not actually live with it. It also hilighted how difficult it is for border towns to assimilate a hundred times more immigrants than cities like NY, Chicago and Martha’s vinyard. I respect him but I don’t want to vote for him.
bravo Sierra! They are here and more come every day!
They are not immigrants – they are criminal illegal aliens
They are illegal invaders and should be treated as such. Just as we would repel foreign soldiers invading across our borders, we should treat these criminal invaders the same.
Yes, all local news in the Metroplex is a How To workshop in how to be a democrat. Trump has been accused for 6 years. Paxton has been accused since 2015? I don’t know because it is so old. Time to go on the offensive and send the illegals to the sanctuary cities. Let the people see the progs reaction. If it went to the courts, the daily reporting of progs saying transferring illegals to their backyards is a crime would be a fun read.
What is so interesting about the weaponization of DeSantis is the fact that Abott is busing illegals all over the place and no legal action against him. What is wrong with this picture?
I am a boomer and I’m mortified that people of our generation have led the way in twisting words and manipulating laws into creating a country I no longer recognize.
In the 1990s, American Demographics Magazine ran an article showing how the vast majority of boomers were law-abiding, hard-working men and women, who were going off to war or working or starting families when their peers were throwing rocks and protesting on campuses.
I’m Gen X, and after reading that article, I understood that not all boomers are the same.
It’s not just a boomer thing. I am a boomer and make absolutely no apology for being one.
Corruption has no age boundary.
They are lawyers.
A large percentage of them are Jewish lawyers.
Two subsets of people who love to get under the skin of conservatives….
Garza and gaza don’t sound like Jewish names to me. ? Pray and help others
Not all boomer had a part in this.
Why isn’t Abbott investigated along with DeSantis? How about Myorkas?
His own state is a border state being completely overrun and the state is unable to provide services to the millions of border jumpers. Myorkas should be impeached.
Mayorkas should resign. He smeared those Border Patrol Agents.
He knowingly and wilfully lied about the border agents. He knew beforehand that his allegations were nothing but lies.
Myorky should be arrested and sent to prison for aiding and abetting criminal trespass by these interlopers.
Abbott and AG Paxton can reasonably control things inside “their state”.
DeSantis is an outsider who left allot of holes in his operation and likely DID NOT coordinate with Governor Abbott.
AG Paxton is under legal assault by the employer of his Opponent, Rochelle GARZA. a partner in the very rich and well connected Garza and Garza Law Firm.
The Garza & Garza Law Firm has a large offcie in San Antonio, TX (BEXAR COUNTY) and very close ties to fellow democrat County Sheriff Salazar, who initiated this action.
The Garza and Garza Law Firm also supports plaintiffs in the SEC Investigation of AG Paxton, based on complaints from Garza and Garza clients in Plano, TX (where they have another large law office).
In addition, the DNC likely is controlling the use of this issue … Desantis is a priority target for 2022 and 2024.
This sets up somewhat MAGA Abbott investigating somewhat MAGA DeSantis. This is a 2-for propaganda jack-pot for democrats, who control 100% of the Media.
Who will investigates Myorkas, from within the current regime in DC?? NOBODY
Make no mistake, Abbott is NOTHING MAGA.
… to work as maids, landscapers, and caregivers? Or will they shunt them off to various states (their political maneuvers are always legal, right?)?
Puky Pelosi has labeled all illegals as landscapers and crop pickers for the wealthy farm conglomerates.
Is there not ONE Republican or Constitutional attorney who will stand up and stop this madness? Those we elect to serve this country and its citizens are the same who are most responsible for vigorously working to destroy it.
They are too busy giving interviews on Fox, Breitbart and Newsmax ..or.. running Ambulance Chasing TV adds to gain a giant slice of the Billions of Dollars set aside in any of several Class Action Law Suit Funds.
why not ask, instead, whether there is even one CITIZEN who will stand up to this madness?
Very few, and they’re already very busy. If you’re not a lawyer, support the orgs who do file lawsuits and send lawyers: Judicial Watch, FIRE, etc. Send them money.
Yes!
They achieved with Jan 6 what communist states tried, to scare everyone from protesting or showing dissent. You will see no p[people on the right to protest or come to support anyone. millions should be in the streets but we are all scared!!! That is by design. I have lived it in 1980 in Czechoslovakia now I am living it again. Everyone talks tough, but the left is doing whatever they want and no one will stop them, because they achieved a;most absolute control and we are left on the right with few arm chair warriors, prayers and talking about 2A. I went to jail in Czechoslovakia for protesting and fighting the communist eventually being thrown out of the country, that is how I ended up here. Now I am facing the exact same evil again, but I do not have the health and strength to fight again. It is amazing how stupid people are and we will keep repeating our mistakes again and again!!! I am of an opinion that the whole world needs reset now, and it will be bloody, revolutions and wars will teach again this generation the basic values of life. It is sad that million will have to die again. WHY!!!!!!!
Millions don’t need to die, just evil tyrants hellbent on making citizens lives miserable
When we fail to study history and see how evils crept in, we are destined to make the same mistakes over again. we can’t repeat the same things over and over again expecting a different result. WAKE UP!!!!!
1000 thumbs up
There are very few who actually know how to pull the levers to really make a difference.
That is the very thing that makes DJT so Special.
And that is why he is SO HATED by the ‘Powers that be’ !!!
Can at least one person on Martha’s Vineyard be accused of the same crime?
Is there a Republican living on Martha’s Vineyard?
Doubtful, they are the biggest bunch of NIMBY’s that I have ever seen. They couldn’t get those migrants off of their island soon enough.
No
NO!! That is a slimy Democrat commune up there. only the wealthiest criminals can live there. Why do you think the Obamas moved there?
So there’s your answer to the original question which was
Can at least one person on Martha’s Vineyard be accused of the same crime?
Fine, from now on we’ll just send put them in jail if they are in Florida.
Do you laugh or cry at the sheer absurdity of it? It’s just fine to ship people in the middle of the night to Knoxville, Tennessee and not tell a soul there that they’re coming. Nope. Nothing wrong with that. But Martha’s Vineyard? Oh, the travesty! 🤣
Two sets of rules… for the radicals!
Sounds to me like Trump will be disqualified via J6, and DeSantis will be disqualified via “human trafficking” BS.
Folks we are NOT voting ourselves out of this.
I don’t understand why more people don’t see it. Much easier to eliminate competition in the corrupt legal system than on the debate stage.
J6 went out with a whimper, and Ron DeSantis has signed, legal contracts from the migrants.
LOL…….
35 years old — Check
14 years of residency — Check
Natural Born Citizen (born of two citizen parents ON the soil) — Check
Seems BOTH PDJT and RDS are constitutionally qualified to run for POTUS or VP according to Article II Section 5…..and since even the Bogus Unselect Committee has backed off on the “insurrection” charge they CANNOT use the provisions of the 14th Amendment Section 3 to disqualify either
It’s not about voting, it’s about pretending.
Some don’t pretend, they just don’t know.
The less is known, the more is speculated.
Delaware’s No-Excuse Vote By Mail Has Been Eliminated In Time For The 2022 Midterms
https://rumble.com/v1nnmtg-julianne-murray-delawares-no-excuse-vote-by-mail-has-been-eliminated-in-tim.html
I wonder what they will change, now that the “covid” “emergency” has been reinstated. They could basically “delay” the election. Congress needs to fix the emergency declaration so they get to vote on it after the first 30 days. The Executive Branch has waaay too much power there.
What the J6ers are relying on is the court of public opinion to get enough voters to choose not to pull the lever for PDJT nor Gov. DS. Nevermind that Eugene Debs ran for President and received votes while in prison.
Send more! A couple million should do it.
.
“Documents indicate Florida officials paid Destin, Fla.-based Vertol Systems Co. $1.56 million for the Martha’s Vineyard flight and possibly for a flight to Delaware, the home state of President Joe Biden, that ultimately didn’t happen.”
It doesn’t take this kind of money to fly 48 people around the U.S.
This did make great publicity but also was idiotically managed. DeSantis and his GOPe strategizers were outsmarted.
.
“DeSantis and his GOPe strategizers were outsmarted.”
Or they took a dive for the uniparty team.
So when do they start receiving their roughly $3500 a month in benefits?
Asking for financially strapped American citizens, the operative word being “citizens.”
Class action suit required.
Lawfare is the only way.
There is such a shortage of competent, passionate lawyers who will work to do this, and they can’t survive on pro bono wages.
I completely agree with you, but we must support people like Tom Fitton with our MONEY.
They are deserving of our support, they’re on the front lines. They’re doing it FOR US.
Does that mean they can move back to Martha’s Vineyard?
If you can put them on a plane to MV, put them on a plane to wherever they came from! That’s not trafficking.
Only the feds can send them back to their country. That’s why Texas is stuck with millions of illegals
Do it anyway. The choice for these invader scumbags should be ‘go home or get shot.’
Biden is sticking it to the deplorables in Texas.
No true. The feds have abrogated the rights if they don’t enforce their laws.
that involves INTERNATIONAL diplomacy which is reserved for the federal government EXCEPT in times of a declared invasion….that is why Kari Lake seeks to use that to hold the line at the border and return crossers back to Mexico
DeSantis shoots from the hip and blows his own foot off.
Did you know DeS is arresting Texas contractors trying to help in Florida? Yes he is.
I have nothing against him but he doesn’t have the gravitas to survive much longer in politics.
Nonsense. The dude is a rock. I get where Sundance is coming from, the people writing him checks are going to want him to remember who they are, and are going to encourage him to go for the gold. Which may or may not be the same as making America great again from an economic standpoint. But to start sniping at him over unlicensed contractors? You want to work here after a disaster? There’s a process. It’s real quick. We have building codes. Stuff has to be done up to them. And to say that a sheriff arresting unlicensed contractors falls into DeSantis’s lap is insane. And don’t forget that DeSantis showed every other red state Governor what you do when a prosecutor starts abusing his discretion. You yank him out of office. Are you listening Greg Abbott?
He was able to remove that prosecutor because either your state Constitution gives him the authority to do so, or the Legislature written and passed a law to give him that authority to do so. Each state is different and don’t have exactly the same laws and/or state Constitution.
Straight from the Texas constitution. “The governor May remove a district attorney for cause.” See, the difference between DeSantis and your average timid RINO is that DeSantis actually takes the common sense and bold step of actually doing what his powers allow him to do in the best interest of the citizens of his state, and then waits to see if anybody can actually stop him. Fear of confrontation has crushed the Republican party for a long long time
Nonsense! DeSantis is bought and paid for by the Wall Street crowd. As of October, Ken Griffin is DeSantis largest donor this year at $10 million. Griffin is CEO of Citadel Hedge Fund and he moved his headquarters to Florida. One area Citadel specializes in is shorting stocks primarily held by retail investors (Me). A little over a week ago Griffin stated he would be interested in the Treasury Secretary position in a DeSantis administration. in 2021 20% of DeSantis contributions came from hedge fund billionaires, private equity bankers, investment managers and other donors from the finance industry. DeSantis is a Con Man like the rest of them.
“The people writing him checks are going to want him to remember who they are”. It doesn’t work that way and you likely know that already. $10 million for DeSantis to remember him? Too funny.
Okay. Stop projecting. Name a better politician in the United States right now. Next
This almost sounds like an internal Karl Rove set up…
Sheriff Salazar and all these left wing lawfare criminals should be thrown in prison.
Of course most of the GOP does nothing.
The trafficking charge is a bs political stunt, but regardless, governors need to keep sending the illegals to sanctuary states and cities. I’d identify the lawfare punks and have busses show up in their neighborhoods and houses.
The funny thing is the Biden administration is engaged in human trafficking, yet they are accusing DeSantis of trafficking their trafficking victims.
it is a tactic called “projection” and the Dimm/commies are renowned about using it
Lessee. Salazar, Garza….hmmmm. And where are these invaders those dogshizzle SOBs love so much coming from again? Who wants more of their pueblo to destroy EuroAmerica forever? Hmmm? LaRaza, whose motto for mixed race ‘mestizo’ Latins is-‘For the race, everything. Outside of the race, nothing’
On the other side we have good old American names like Abbott and Paxton.
I know who this AMERICAN supports.
Por la raza toda, con la raza nada
Every effort to salvage what’s left of the Republic is weaponized against us, this is a case in point. Every one.
Like the Stop the Steal protest on January 6 which was turned into a Reichstag Fire situation.
Maybe there’s a way they can have their law licenses suspended.
Doubtful he sent any criminals; I can only imagine he knew what would/could happen.
Here’s another criminal who should be behind bars.
The migrants we’re lied to! They were told that jobs were waiting for them in Massachusetts before boarding the luxury jet.
But when they arrived they realized there are no jobs here because they don’t need a job!
Turns out that West Side Story was real, and “everything free in America” they got free housing, free food, free schools, and free health care here, no job Required
Okay Texans – Sheriff Salazar is ELECTED, not appointed; time to kick him to the curb.
Bexar County = San Antonio….a democrat and la la land fortress.
As long as the illegal immigrant issue does not physically impact them … the democrats and republican la la land dwellers will continue to put this democrats like Salazar in office.
The physical impact factor is also the reason for the current rise in younger republicans moving up in areas outside the bastions like San Antonio, Houston and El Paso.
People forget that Texas is not some small solid RED State and that it was not many governors ago that we had Ma Richards as the governor and the majority of our DC reps were democrats. Even Sundance has recognized the fact with his Texas is “Purple” comment.
Giving them special privileges with OUR tax dollars to ensure they’ll all vote Dem. Sickens me to the core. I recall as Governor, Jeb! wanted to give them all driver’s license. No documents for these people!!!
Wonder if his new friend Paul Ryan will come to his rescue?
Then this must mean that all of the secret flights by the interloper will have the same result for the illegals. Great, we are doomed.
Surprise, surprise, surprise. Laws are for the other people.
The further we go…the more we see these leftist are criminal, corrupt, evil and hate America. Are we awake yet? How much more of this crap do we need to see and experience before we say…thus far and no farther. The day is coming!!!
“The day is coming!!!”
Not really. When you have parents willingly handing over their kids to the government schools and groomers it’s pretty much over.
Nantucket was in panic mode the other day when the police and pols were alerted that a flight fitting a similar profile was scheduled to land. The state went in panic mode. 50 illegals at the Vineyard is one thing but 50 in Nantucket are a whole nother matter! Nantucket is where the REAL money is while the nouveau riche are quarantined on the Vineyard. Turns out it really was a flight full of execs coming for a retreat. They are still reeling over the false alarm.
I want to see them sent to Aspen and Vail 🙂
Shouldn’t those trafficking illegals to Florida be under investigation as well? Florida isn’t exactly a border state, and about 1,00 miles from Mexico. Long swim across the gulf to get there. Need to be bused in of flown.
Insane: The Dems allow millions of unvetted, un vaxxed aliens to enter our country as long as they don’t impact their northern Blue states- I respect what DeSantis did- he put laser focus on the left’s hypocrisy- Martha’s VIneyard, after Labor day ,is filled with unused hotel rooms but the elite residents went postal when 50 refugees showed up???? They declare themselves a “sanctuary City”, but cannot manage to keep them for longer than overnight? Did Obama get on the phone and call the governor of Mass to get them out of his town???? As long as Republican Border States (most of whose citizens do NOT agree with open borders) had to bear the brunt of this invasion, the Dems were happy, but when governors took them up on their “Sanctuary City “labels” they lost their minds. Tells you all you need to know about Dems, wwhose mantra is “Rules for thee but not for me”.
There’s no voting our way out of this. The rot and termites have been left to grow and embed themselves too long. The structure will have to be destroyed with all the vermin. SD’s admonition to live our best lives is even more on point today than it was a couple of years ago. Most of us probably won’t live to see a phoenix rise from the ashes. Hopefully and with God’s grace, our children and/or grands will. We need to prepare them as m uch as we can. It’s likely to be a hard row to hoe.
Then why isn’t it illegal to let these people into the USA at all? just because the pampered morons on Martha’s Vineyard didn’t want them there *they only want them in the USA because they actually think these people are going to vote dimwit dem. Are they crazy? Many of those illegals have already said they are in no way voting for joe biden or any other dimwit dem. Boy that much hurt piglosi and shoooomer and schiffty to their very core! Teaches them right not to count their chickens before they hatch.
Following that logic, are the illegal aliens flown at night to small towns by Biden getting the same U Visas?
How long do we continue to let the trash take us out to the curb?
I have had about enough of this crap! Somebody in a position to do so has to declare a call to arms
The fact that they issued those visas before their investigation into DeSantis’ conduct is even finished speaks many volumes.
FJB
What an insult to true victims of crimes-especially women with children who have suffered physical abuse and domestic violence from their children’s fathers, but can’t move out of state because of shared custody. For some reason, illegal aliens with the same situation are allowed to move from another country here, but US citizens who suffer domestic violence must stay in the same state as the perpetrator if they share custody of children.
