And this was done sooo haphazardly that several FATHERS ended up in Washington, while the women and children ended up in Martha's Vineyard!!

These are the same people who praised Trump for ripping babies and toddlers out of their mothers’ arms and placing them in cages. Some of the anti-government militias would probably be happy to line them all up and execute them. We are dealing with a cult whose members think they have all the rights and everyone else should just get out of their way.

Kidnapping by inveiglement? Doesn't this show that these asylum seekers were lured, enticed and lied to? I am finding it almost impossible to believe that anything will be done to those who have arranged this cruel and nefarious act. This is now standard operating procedure with fascist RW strong men and they have promised more and continue to fulfill that promise.

Each week the fascists push the limits just a little bit further, what will the mass media let us get away with?

If so this is the smoking gun that should end his career and hopefully get him criminally
prosecuted too.

Theft by fraud. And the theft was in the conning of those people out of their personal safety and security.

When a person is tricked into changing the title or possession of the property, then a crime - theft by fraud - may have occurred. As well, an attempt to commit a fraudulent act may also be a crime. Crimes involving criminal fraud are usually committed without violence, so they are often categorized as a white collar crimes.

Fraudulent. Wow it’s intention is to deceive, especially in light of the fact that no immigration support group was contacted prior to the delivery of the refugees to a site 3 miles from help.
This coincides with the same information Mayor Adams pointed out on Sunday. There has been no coordination. It goes to prove the fraudulent nature of the scheme.

Judd Legum's Popular Information is a good blog with no fact check problems, but this time, with all the anti-immigrants and trolls in Florida, this photo can't imply anything about the printer or its connection to DeSantis' administration. So Legum's just trying to get attention.

Nice drama, but why has this appeared days after the immigrant landings. Don't believe the hype.

Doesn't connect to DeSantis, but it looks like it was designed on a personal computer. If it was an "official form", there is usual something to indicate it.

ETA: Yes, it's real because it was shown by the immigrants' attorney when she gave a presser on Friday
