According to the Vineyard Gazette, 48 people landed "unexpectedly" at the Martha's Vineyard Airport. Massachusetts State Sen. Julian Cyr told the local media outlet that the plane originated in San Antonio. Martha's Vineyard airport employees assumed the flights were chartered planes carrying corporate groups for golf retreats and other events, which are common at this point in the year. It wasn't until the plane landed that officials realized the arrival was another plot from a Republican governor.

Previous plans from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have sent planes to Chicago. On Thursday, September 15, Abbott said online that he had sent two buses to Washington, D.C., but his office told the New York Times that Texas was not involved in the Martha's Vineyard plans.

NPR also reported the planes originated from San Antonio.

According to flight tracker website, FlightAware, two flights from company Ultimate Jet Charters originated at Kelly Field in San Antonio arrived at Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday at 3:12 p.m. and then at 3:28 p.m.

According to flight tracker website, FlightAware, two flights from company Ultimate Jet Charters originated at Kelly Field in San Antonio arrived at Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday at 3:12 p.m. and then at 3:28 p.m.

Evidence of the two flights.
They did not originate at San Antonio International or Stinson (Public airports)

Kelly Field is a former AF base.
It is a federal government contractor-secure site.
It is not available for commercial aviation.
It is where the president lands when he flies into San Antonio.
It is also a maintenance site for large military planes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Field

1. Look into the money they are spending. I'm betting somebody's getting kickbacks

They never pull any of this shit without getting a little piece of the action at least

2. I posted the article because it was floating around that the flights had originated in San Antonio

However, the articles didn't provide proof.
Just people were saying they originated in SA.
Now there is proof that two planes flew from Kelly Field (which is a federal govt contract air field) to Martha's Vineyard, yesterday.

3. Follow the money

The people on these flights should be treated humanly and taken care of.

That is the christian thing to do, not ship them around the country

4. What is going to happen to those migrants that were on the flights?

7. Who TF knows..right?

They were dumped

Asylum seekers are supposed to be placed with host families. I guess they could start the shelter process in MA. Many asylum seekers do end up with host families in different parts of the country

5. Actually some are, but they are not dumped!

They are sent to host families.

Planes are chartered to a larger regional airport. From there, migrants are sent to numerous host families. For instance: DC with host families in Virginia and Maryland. The immigrants are vetted. The host families are vetted.
Tabs are kept on asylum seekers because they have court dates pending etc.

I read NAMUS (missing kids) and in several cases migrant teens have run back home because part of the requirement to stay in the US was to attend school.

9. Finally an answer to a question I have asked repestedly and that is how is this not kidnapping and

illegal. If they are going to host families this is a good thing.

6. Yet, DeSantis is claiming credit for these flights

According to this DU post
"Two planes carrying migrants were sent by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday night"

Someone is lying! Likely two GOP competitors.

8. Michigan could use them

but they don't want to make MAGA repubs here mad.

10. Anyone surprised that Abbott thinks that people can be treated like cattle?
