Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar made the announcement on Sept. 19. His office has launched a criminal probe into FL Gov. Ron DeSantis鈥� decision to fly close to 50 migrants to Martha鈥檚 Vineyard last week. While it鈥檚 not apparent whether any laws were broken, Salazar said the migrants were seemingly , 鈥渓ured under false pretenses鈥� before being flown to Florida and Martha鈥檚 Vineyard.

鈥淭hey were promised work. They were promised the solution to several of their problems,鈥� Javier Salazar, Bexar County Sheriff, via statement.

Salazar claims a recruiter was compensated with a 鈥渂ird dog fee鈥� to round up nearly 50 people near a migrant resource center in San Antonio, TX. Salazar said that the migrants were then sent to Martha鈥檚 Vineyard 鈥渇or little more than a photo op or a video op, and they were unceremoniously stranded in Martha鈥檚 Vineyard.鈥� DeSantis denies breaking any laws and claims Florida helped the asylum-seekers find 鈥済reener pastures鈥� after being 鈥渁bandoned鈥� in Bexar County. Attorneys representing 30 of the migrants are also seeking criminal investigations, saying their clients 鈥渨ere induced to board airplanes and cross state lines under false pretenses.鈥� Immigration advocates have accused Republicans of using human beings for political stunts
