Politico reported that Massachusetts Democratic lawmakers have composed a letter to Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg urging him to launch a federal investigation into Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., for relocating migrants from his state to Martha’s Vineyard.
The lawmakers have asked Buttigieg to find out whether DeSantis violated the department’s rules by allegedly misleading migrants in order to get them to board the planes to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts earlier this month.
The Democrats’ push to investigate DeSantis comes as the Florida governor is dealing with the massive damage caused by Hurricane Ian to his state this week.
Multiple outlets and liberal media figures have accused DeSantis of duping the migrants, the majority of which are originally from Venezuala, into boarding the planes, with some of them arguing the governor should be charged with "kidnapping."
As Politico reported, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and five other members of the all-Democratic Massachusetts delegation provided the outlet exclusive access to their letter.
The letter, written by Markey and signed by the other delegates, "invoked a charter-broker rule issued during the Trump administration that prohibits charter operators from ‘misrepresenting’ information like the ‘time of departure or arrival, points served, route to be flown, stops to be made, or total trip-time.’"
While trying to persuade Buttigieg to go after the Florida governor, Sen. Markey invoked a federal class action lawsuit filed against DeSantis by a civil rights group on behalf of the migrants last week. That lawsuit accused DeSantis and Florida officials of convincing migrants to board the planes with "false promises and misrepresentations" of what they would receive at the end of their journey.

Hey, he was just trying to evacuate them ahead of the storm.
I like Trump BUT I don’t want any trouble. The trouble stops if we get rid of Trump. They won’t go after a Governor. It will be pancea.
/s for the folks in Rio Linda.
The ‘’MISLEADING” brochures have a phone number for the organization that printed them-—508-—Mass area code-—NOT FLORIDA.
Full discovery could be very interesting.
That's pretty much the way the cucks think.

Sending illegals to a rich island sanctuary city is a nice thing to do, isn’t it?
The Massachusetts delegation members’ request to Buttigieg comes amid increasing calls from Democratic officials in Massachusetts for DOJ to investigate the circumstances surrounding the flights to Martha’s Vineyard.
Elevate it from stunt to policy. Problem solved.
I’m sure FudgeButt is looking forward to giving the anal exam.
Here we go. I can see it now. DeSantis becomes president, and the dems do a war dance demanding his impeachment for the exact same thing that biden did - only the media never told the public about it.
Democrats never let a crisis go to waste.
And with this news, he should furlough every illegal alien in every jail and prison and send them all to Marthas Vineyard, Delaware and DC
To quote the great Peter Strzok….. “there’s no big there, there”….. move on DeSantis won this round of musical immigrants.
Buttjuice better get the investigations going at volume 11 now. They need to quickly ramp it up to full blown Trump treatment before it is too late
In response DeSantis should send another planeload (bus, train) to Martha’s Vineyard.
” ... move on DeSantis won this round of musical immigrants.”
Exactly; tip to the Dems: when you are in a deep hole, stop digging.
Hmmm, seems that the letters of consent (in English and Spanish) and maps of Martha’s Vineyard would disprove allegations that they were “mislead”.
How would this be the transportation secretary’s purview or under DoT authority?
