The last few days have seen multiple instances of migrants transported and left in Sacramento.  California officials have threatened criminal charges.  See the interview of California Attorney General Rob Bonta here.

Shipping migrants by the Texas and Florida governments has been going on for quite some time.  And criminal charges may be possible for the perpetrators of these political stunts.  UPI reports that a Texas sheriff investigating the September 2022 involuntarily transportation of 49 migrants from San Antonio to Martha's Vineyard has recommended that criminal charges be filed in the case.

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the case had been filed with the county's district attorney's office for consideration.

"The charge filed is unlawful restraint and several accounts were filed, both misdemeanor and felony," the Bexar County Sheriff's Office said. "At this time, the case is being reviewed by the DA's office."

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar had announced an investigation days after dozens of migrants were flown to Martha's Vineyard.
