EDGARTOWN Republican governors are escalating their practice of sending migrants without advance warning to strongholds for Democrats, including a wealthy summer enclave in Massachusetts and the home of Vice President Kamala Harris, taunting leaders.
About 50 migrants arrived by plane on Martha's Vineyard Wednesday night, marking a new tactic in the political fight over border security. They were flown from Texas by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Republican Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said the move to the mainland would be voluntary, but didn't say what would happen to migrants who choose to stay.
