"Miami-based immigration activists gathered at the park Thursday to denounce Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis administration flying two planes full of asylum seekers, including 50 Venezuelans, to Marthas Vineyard. The governors decision comes a week after he promised the Cuban and Venezuelan communities in Miami that he would not send refugees out of the state."

It seemed to be all anyone was talking about yesterday. Kicked Joe's rail rescue right off the headlines.
So, Desantis got what he wanted. I'm sure this was a national grab at exposure for his all-but-certain presidential bid.
