@RonDeSantisFL 2. In the aftermath of the flights, a key issue of contention is whether the migrants boarded the flights freely and voluntarily. If the migrants were misled, the scheme to transport them to Martha's Vineyard could constitute fraud or kidnapping. https://t.co/MXdhOY0s89 — PolitiTweet.org

1. https://t.co/JhoV1QDaTS has obtained documentary evidence that migrants from Venezuela were provided with false info to induce them to board flights chartered by @RonDeSantisFL The documents suggest that the flights violated criminal law. 🧵 https://t.co/MXdhOY0s89 — PolitiTweet.org

@ShaneWright22 They weren't "expelled" from anywhere. They were transported to another vacation spot, Cape Cod, where they have better facilities and services. — PolitiTweet.org

While Martha's Vineyard is a nice place, and the migrants were treated well upon arrival, many will find themselves next week thousands of miles from where they need to report for their asylum cases. So no, DeSantis was not doing anyone a favor. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
The point of DeSantis' stunt was to bait the people on Martha's Vineyard into treating migrants poorly. But they were treated very well. So now the right's response is: SEE, DESANTIS WAS HELPING THEM Sorry but not everyone is this dumb. — PolitiTweet.org

Apparently no one outraged by what DeSantis did stopped to consider that being flown to Martha’s Vineyard was proba… https://t.co/7ycrwuB6lb

It's important to remember that many "Democratic strategists" think of politics as a game to score points and amass power. There are no ethics or values that undergird any of it. — PolitiTweet.org

MORE DETAILS OF DESTANTIS' STUNT Per a lawyer representing the migrants 1. The migrants were "lied to again & again & fraudulently induced to board the planes" 2. Promised a "surprise present" 3. Told that "there would be jobs & housing awaiting them" https://t.co/1gmPz4A9oN — PolitiTweet.org

5. What did Perla tell migrants to induce them to board a plane? 6. Who is Perla's boss? 7. Why did Perla recruit people for this stunt in Texas, not Florida? 8. Who paid for the videographer that traveled with the migrants? — PolitiTweet.org

Questions DeSantis needs to answer TODAY: 1. What company was hired to recruit migrants to send to Martha's Vineyard? 2. What were the terms of the contract? 3. What, if anything, did the state do to vet this company? 4. Who is Perla? — PolitiTweet.org

If the migrants were mislead to induce them onto the plane, that seems very illegal — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
So if I’m understanding this correctly DeSantis hired a woman named Perla to prowl the streets of San Antonio, lure migrants onto a plane under false pretenses of a trip to Boston and expedited work visas, and then dropped them in Martha’s Vineyard — PolitiTweet.org

This is not a complicated bill. Collins can’t get 10 Republicans to support it and now is stalling for time, possibly to save many of her colleagues from having to take a tough vote before the midterm elections. https://t.co/QCJdwk9b1q — PolitiTweet.org

8. While Hedger describes the Taxpayers Protection Alliance as a "grassroots" organization, according to the group's latest filing with the IRS, the group is a front for a political consulting firm, which manages its day-to-day operations. https://t.co/WbVlI5XFQK — PolitiTweet.org

7. The themed donuts were designed to illustrate the dangers of legislation that would prohibit large technology platforms like Google and Amazon from favoring their own products. One donut focused on the threat to "the secure ecosystems created by American companies." https://t.co/iLiowxIfdL — PolitiTweet.org

6. Asked whether Google, Facebook, and Amazon had any involvement in the donut truck or the larger App Security Project campaign, Hedger said "we do not discuss or disclose who our specific donors are or are not" https://t.co/ytpYpmXvJG — PolitiTweet.org

@AppSecProject 4. In an interview outside the donut truck, Taxpayers Protection Alliance Executive Director @PatHedger18 confirmed his org paid @RollCall to create the event. Hedger said @RollCall produced the advocacy campaign "soup to nuts" https://t.co/ytpYpmXvJG — PolitiTweet.org
