DeSantis: I Might Send the Haitians Coming to Florida Straight to Martha's Vinyard

Boss move.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis warned that Haitians fleeing the gang-controlled nation to South Florida could get shipped off to the destination island of Martha's Vineyard.

"We do have our transport program also that's going to be operational," DeSantis said Tuesday on Dana Loesch's podcast.

"Haitians land in the Florida Keys -- their next stop very well may be Martha's Vineyard."

Florida is roughly 850 miles from Haiti and has been hit by an influx of migrants showing up to the Sunshine State's shores by boat amid the nation's conflict.

He explains why he can't just send them back home:

"The problem when you get to a situation like Florida is if they have people in our state and we wanted to fly them, say, back to Haiti, you have to get clearance to be able to do that. If you wanted to fly somebody to a South American country, wherever they're from, it becomes a little bit more difficult because the federal government's going to tell the host countries not to accept our planes," DeSantis said.

"It's a little bit different for a maritime state like us," he continued. "That's why we've really got to get them before they reach the shores, and that's why we're working so hard to do that."

Meanwhile, a cartel-associated Venezuelan illegal alien shot and killed a transgender, and the left doesn't know quite what to do.

Early one mild morning last month, a transgender woman who recently migrated from Venezuela was waiting for a ride outside a Little Village nightclub when a driver pulled up and made an ominous remark in Spanish.

"Bad gay," he allegedly said before firing three shots at the woman around 4:30 a.m. on Feb. 4. She was struck in the groin and both legs and left in critical condition, according to Chicago police records.

She later told investigators that she and her friends had been partying at VLive, 2501 S. Kedzie Ave., a club she described as a meeting ground for new arrivals from Venezuela. A witness also recounted the attack to police, records show.

Detectives began investigating the shooting as a hate crime and eventually homed in on a suspect -- a 29-year-old Venezuelan man who was linked to a drug cartel by federal authorities.

With the help of a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force, officers took him into custody on Feb. 26 as he left a courthouse in west suburban Maywood.

He had been arrested two days earlier in Austin and hit with a list of charges, including felonies for illegally possessing a gun and ammunition, court records show. After a judge ordered him released that day, police records show he was quickly arrested again and brought in for questioning.

While he had been identified as the gunman and police had recovered key evidence -- including a shell casing and video of the Ford Explorer used in the attack -- Cook County prosecutors wouldn't bring charges.

A spokesperson for the state's attorney's office said the case has been "continued for additional investigation," noting that "no charging decision has been made at this time."

In a report, police acknowledged the investigation had faced a serious setback: "Our one witness who can positively identify the gunman will not cooperate any further."

So the cartel threatened the witness.

Okay: Deport him if we can't imprison him.

But wait, Biden won't do that.

A law enforcement source said the victim stopped cooperating because she believes she was targeted for being a sex worker and has fears about the suspect's association with El Tren De Aragua, a violent Venezuelan gang known in South America for human trafficking and drug sales.
