According to NBC 10 in Providence,  a Texas sheriff on Monday opened an investigation into two flights of migrants sent to Martha's Vineyard by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, but did not say what laws may have been broken in putting 48 Venezuelans on private planes last week from San Antonio. Sheriff Javier Salazar, spoke against the flights that took off in his city as political posturing But he said investigators had so far only spoken to attorneys representing some of the migrants and did not name any potential suspects who might face charges. Roughly 50 migrants were taken to Joint Base Cape Cod from Martha's Vineyard on Friday. Some Democrats have urged the Justice Department to investigate the flights, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, whose district includes San Antonio.

It’s not clear whether anyone boarded buses or planes unwillingly, or that their civil rights were violated.
