The potential flight to Delaware, carrying potential migrants, never happened. But that didn’t stop the media circus and officials from holding a press conference on Tuesday at the airport in Delaware.
“Our teams at [Delaware Emergency Management Agency] and [Delaware Department of Health and Social Services] are working with community organizations and other partners to make sure that migrants who arrive here have the support that they need,” Gov. John Carney’s spokesperson Emily David Hershman said.
Jill Fredel, the spokesperson for the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services, addressed media at Delaware Coastal Airport in Georgetown Tuesday around 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

“We are here as a state to support people that may arrive in Delaware. We’re prepared to offer them the services and the support they need. But we, you know, it’s a humanitarian effort on our part. We want to support people who might arrive in our state. We have no reports of anyone arriving at this point, but we do have those preparations ready,” said Fredel.
“And we are at the state of Delaware. We are going to centralize donations again with our community partners. We will have that website up shortly at delaware.gov but it’s not quite ready to go. But we do encourage people, we know they want to help and offer assistance in many different ways, and we will have that centralized donation website ready to go fairly soon,” said Fredel.
Last week, 50 migrants landed in Martha’s Vineyard on a flight from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. 50. Mainstream media went into a rage, slamming DeSantis for this move.
From October 2021 through July 2022, 4,492,543 migrants landed at the southern border, according to the USBP. 4,492,543.
A Democratic sheriff in Texas has opened an investigation into Gov. Ron DeSantis’ effort to relocate illegal immigrants to a wealthy Massachusetts town that had proclaimed itself a sanctuary city.
In a tweet on Monday, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office announced that it had “opened an investigation into the migrants that were lured from the Migrant Resource Center, located in Bexar County, TX, and flown to Florida, where they were ultimately left to fend for themselves in Martha’s Vineyard, MA.”
Bexar County includes San Antonio.
DeSantis has denied that the migrants were promised anything. He said recently they were given packets that clearly indicated they were Massachusetts-bound.
The Republican governor also noted that within 48 hours of their arrival, the sanctuary city enthusiasts in Martha’s Vineyard had put the illegals on buses to a military base on Cape Cod.
In a second tweet, the Sheriff’s Office added, “Additionally, we are working with private attorneys who are representing the victims, as well as advocacy organizations regarding this incident. We are also preparing to work with any federal agencies that have concurrent jurisdiction, should the need arise.”
During a press conference on Tuesday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis lambasted critics over the migrant flight to Martha’s Vineyard.
“When Biden is flying these people all over the fruited plain in the middle of the night, I didn’t hear a peep out of those people,” said DeSantis. “Okay, I didn’t hear a peep.”
“I haven’t heard a peep about all the people that have been told by Biden, you can just come in and they’re going. They’re being abused by the cartels. They’re drowning in the Rio Grande. You had 50 people that died in some shed in Texas. I heard no outrage about any of that,” said DeSantis.

“I haven’t heard outrage about all the Fentanyl that’s come across the border, that’s killing Americans in record numbers. I don’t hear outrage about the criminal aliens that have gotten through and have then victimized people not only in Florida but all throughout the country, I didn’t hear any outrage about that,” said DeSantis.
“The only thing I hear them getting upset about, is you have 50 (migrants) that end up in Martha’s Vineyard. Then they get really upset. I’m sorry, those migrants were being treated horribly by Biden. They were hungry and homeless, they had no opportunity at all and in the state of Florida, it was volunteer-offered transport to sanctuary jurisdictions,” said DeSantis.
“This was intentional policy, to reverse policies that were effective and you want to talk about that sending a bus from Texas, is a stunt? The biggest stunt was Biden coming in as President and reversing Trump’s policies just so he could virtue signal that he was against Trump. It didn’t matter that the policy worked, and he had to be anti-Trump and so that’s why he did it,” said DeSantis.
