The event took place in 2022. They could get the benefit as a result of being "victims of crime"
Three migrants sent to Martha's Vineyard by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have received visas that allow them to work in the U.S. because a Texas sheriff said they were victims of a crime.
The migrants applied last year for a special type of visa designated for crime victims -- known as a U-visa -- after they claimed they were duped into boarding charter flights from San Antonio, Texas to the upmarket liberal enclave in Massachusetts with the false promises of jobs and housing.
DeSantis flew migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard without their consent, only to provide them with a path to citizenship.
The federal government is allowing the immigrants to get work authorization and be protected from deportation as potential victims of a crime.
