let s go outfront. good evening. ou a cruel political stunt, those are the words from the white house after the florida governor ron desantis sent two planes full of migrants to the wealthy enclave of martha s vineyard. what they are doing is a political stunt, and it s it s really just disrespectful to humanity. it doesn t afford them dignity. it is just cruel. so here s what happened. 50 migrants, including children, arrived at the vacation destination with no warning, according to local officials. planes just and landed that s who got off. local leaders say they re now trying to move heaven and earth to provide the families with food, clothing, and shelter. they have nothing. it s a challenge for an island that has only one homeless shelter with room for only ten people. as for governor ron desantis, he is proudly taking credit for this. we are not a sanctuary state, and it s better to be able to go to a sanctuary jurisdiction. and yes, we will help facilitate
