Bexar County Sheriff announces investigation into how migrants...
went from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard!!
A Texas sheriff said this evening his agency will open an investigation into the transportation of 48 Venezuelan migrants from the state to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, a Democrat, told reporters at a Monday news conference that his understanding was that on Wednesday a Venezuelan migrant was paid a “bird dog fee” to recruit 50 migrants from a resource center in San Antonio.
The sheriff said he believes laws were not only broken in Bexar County in transporting nearly 50 migrants to Martha’s Vineyard but that parallel laws were also broken on the federal side.
President Joe Biden met Friday with members of his administration to talk about immigration issues.
A White House official said the meeting had been planned before Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent two busloads of migrants to Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence in Washington on Thursday and DeSantis sent two planes carrying migrants to Martha’s Vineyard.
Biden has accused the Republicans of “playing politics with human beings” and “using them as props” in response to those stunts.

Salazar told reporters he will be working with federal agencies and welcomes White House assistance.
"Absolutely parts of this case are going to have to go federal, and there's going to have to be some coordination that goes along with that," he said.
"So absolutely, I would welcome the White House or anybody else from the federal side to give us a call and help us out with whatever they can," he said.
