Operatives linked to DeSantis promised to fly migrants to Delaware -- but left them stranded

For those who didn’t click through at the top of the thread, this fantastic reporting from

Operatives linked to DeSantis promised to fly migrants to Delaware — but left them stranded
A black, luxury SUV with tinted windows pulled into a parking space along the side of a drab, two-story La Quinta motel planted on the northwestern edge of 12

WOW. It gets even worse. “Perla” lied to dozens more asylum seekers, put them up in a hotel for days with false claims about jobs and housing, and when DeSantis suddenly cancelled the Delaware flight yesterday, she dumped some back at the shelter and stranded the others.



It looks like the Miami Herald now has photos of “Perla” that multiple people have confirmed is her.

Her true identity is likely going to come out very soon, I imagine.

There are traffickers who prey on migrants like this. Usually the end result is "work" (illegally). Migrants are exploited as cheap labor. Many times they miss their court date and then are subject to deportation.

I don't know if it's "Perla" or another woman.

I don't think this particular woman is Pushaw based on her accent. However, this woman may not be "Perla", but another woman.

But the callous treatment of the people left stranded is typical of DeathSatan. Too bad they weren't fetuses, then they'd be given protection, but only until birth.
