The Texas Tribune reports:

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office says it has completed its investigation into the transport of 49 migrants from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard last September by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration and filed criminal charges with the local district attorney.
A statement from the sheriff’s office says it has filed several counts of unlawful restraint, both misdemeanors and felonies. The sheriff’s office didn’t name any individual suspects and didn’t specify when the investigation was turned over to the Bexar County district attorney.
“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 statement said. In a separate statement from the sheriff’s office, spokesperson Johnny Garcia said the case was turned over to the DA’s office “recently,” adding, “At this time we are not naming the suspects involved in the case.”
 
Somehow when Desantis does it it is illegal, but when Biden ships thousands of people in the dead of night all over the country informing no one, that is peachy keen. Who said there are two sets of laws in this country, one for traditional Americans and one for leftists?
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Turns a blind eye to the biggest sex trafficking ring occurring right meow on the southern border to worry about this.
Assholes can only do one thing at a time, you know!!!!

And...

Best thing that could happen for DeSantis if he’s named. Being the leader on that front is exactly how he will get Trump voters to rush to him. He’s praying this Sheriff goes forward with this I bet.

Yeah, but he'd probably get one upped when Trump is indicted on the classified documents matter.

you are not American. You are a confederate. A traitor to the US Constitution.
 
I personally hope Rhonda and "Hell on Wheels" Abbott are both charged. Who else had the ultimate authority to order these actions?
People who grovel at their feet, and people who want to curry favor do it on raised eyebrow. They don't need a formal order.
Hopefully the next show to drop is from the bunch sent to California. They came from Florida.
 
God damn the Dems will bend themselves backwards.


What was all that sanctuary city talk?
Speaking from some authority on this due to some recent work I did --- any "sanctuary" city is perfectly happy and willing to take in, accommodate and find immediate shelter and mid-to-longer range assistance for asylum seekers, provided they are informed in advance, the immigrants themselves are made fully aware of what is happening and where they are going and all U.S. laws are followed in the effort.

The publicity stunts pulled by DeSantis and others failed on nearly every one of those fronts.

Do it right, do it humanely or STFU and let the grownups deal with the problem.

You mean Texas, let Texas deal with it.



You are going to have a hell of time finding anyone to say if they were told they would be bussed or not.
 
I stopped at “got me thinking”
😂😂😂😂😂
That's part of your problem. Having said that, I am quite positive you are not a bad human being, compared to some of the guys on here you vote with. I'm convinced they're bad people.

Not true at all.

I was on a conference call with an NGO out of Peoria that is working on the issue and every single asylum seeker they've taken in has been informed where they were going and for how long. Most of them have friends/families or some type of sponsor somewhere in the U.S. and the effort by those helping out is to get them as close as possible. So for example, many of those who are in Peoria have sponsors in Chicago and they will be in Peoria only temporarily as their paperwork is filled out and they are able to get a hearing.
