Massachusetts flights stunt

It appears the budget language which appropriated the money for Florida’s migrant relocation program would not permit this week’s two flights, for which Gov. Ron DeSantis claimed credit, or the relocation of some of the migrants recruited for them.

DeSantis said he arranged for the two flights which landed in Massachusetts, but the migrants had actually been in Texas.

Florida’s migrant relocation program, according to the budget language which DeSantis signed into law, says the program should move migrants who are “unlawfully present” in the United States “from this state,” meaning the flights from Texas to Massachusetts would not have been covered by the budget, language and anyone relocated as part of the program was not legally allowed to be in the US.

Martha Vineyard’s airport director Geoffrey Freeman said Wednesday’s flights originated in San Antonio, Texas.

1. If he illegally used the funds, wouldn't any prosecution be state?

I can't imagine anyone in his own administration filing suit against him.

2. Didn't the plane first land in Florida before proceeding to MV?

That might the loophole through which he is slithering.
