DeSantis says migrants were treated well, signed forms
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has claimed credit for flying the migrants to Martha's Vineyard. In an interview with Fox News on Monday night, DeSantis defended his decision.
"They all signed consent forms to go and then the vendor that is doing this for Florida provided them with a packet that had a map of Martha's Vineyard, it has the number for different services that are on Martha's Vineyard," DeSantis said.
A previous payment of $615,000 was made on September 8, six days before the Martha's Vineyard flight. In total, the state of Florida has paid Vertol $1,565,000 to provide "contracted services" for DeSantis' migrant relocation program.
1. Getting people who know nothing about the law or their rights to sign a waiver or consent does not absolve you of anything. It would be no different than having a child sign a waiver to go to trampoline park.
2. How does it cost $1.5 million to transport 40-50 people within the U.S.??? they got ripped off.
