Florida This plan did not inform the local area in advance, resulting in some busy and chaotic areas in the jurisdiction of Martha's Vineyard Island.
The local jurisdiction's emergency management department tweeted Wednesday night that due to "an unexpected humanitarian situation", Martha's Vineyard Island is recruiting volunteers and opening emergency shelters.
The video of the plane's arrival was subsequently exposed. The video shows immigrants getting off the plane at Martha's Vineyard Airport in Massachusetts. Tallin Fensk, director of communications at Florida Governor, said, "The two planes carrying illegal immigrants that arrived at Martha's vineyard today are part of the Florida "resettlement of illegal immigrants" plan to transport illegal immigrants to shelters."
She said: "Massachusetts, New York state and California will encourage illegal immigrants by designating these people as "sanitation states" and supporting the Biden administration's border opening policy, so as to better provide care for those invited to enter."

Florida Governor Republican DeSantis proposed to list Delaware and Martha's Vineyard Island as destinations for resettlement of illegal immigrants.
He said: "If you send (illegal immigrants) to Delaware or Martha's Vineyard Island or some such place, the next day, the border will be safe." The Governor's Office also said at the time: "It is not the responsibility of the Florida people to provide subsidies to foreigners living in our state illegally; we do not agree with the open border agenda of Biden ." Delaware is the hometown of President Joe Biden, and Martha's Vineyard Island is where former President Barack Obama has a mansion.
Massachusetts' Martha's Vineyard Island is a famous resort in the United States. Many wealthy people own luxury homes on the island, where former President Barack Obama bought a mansion worth tens of millions of dollars in 2019. Property records show that the property's 29 acres were sold for $11.75 million.

In this regard, Florida media once said that the Biden administration's agent used about 70 planes to secretly send illegal immigrants intercepted on the US-Mexico border to in Florida without notifying the Florida state government.
DeSantis is running for re-election for Florida Governor. He is a rising political star in the Republican Party. He has always regarded immigration as the core issue and sued the Biden administration for immigration law enforcement. It is expected that he may run for president in 2024.
Texas Governor Abbott and Arizona Governor Ducey started shipping immigrants to Washington, D.C. earlier this year. Texas has used buses to transport more than 7,600 immigrants to Washington, D.C. since April, causing the city to declare a public emergency last week. Since then, Abbott has also expanded this effort to New York City and Chicago . As the illegal immigration crisis on the US border continues, such "people throwing" actions are frequently staged across the United States.
