Texas Sheriff Calls For Criminal Charges Over DeSantis’ Migrant Flights To Martha’s Vineyard

A Texas sheriff is calling for criminal charges involving Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ flights of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, the Bexar County Sheriff’s office said in a statement Monday evening.
“The case filed includes both felony and misdemeanor charges of Unlawful Restraint,” the statement read. “At this time, the case is being reviewed by the DA’s office. Once an update is available, it will be provided to the public.”
The Martha’s Vineyard flights drew backlash from Salazar, who swiftly opened an investigation into allegations that the migrants were “lured” into taking the trips.
DeSantis’ office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
