This may be a problem for Desantis:

(ii)knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law;

Also Greg Abbott of Texas and Doug Ducey of Arizona. They've also been transporting and stranding migrants under the assumption that they're here illegally, and in higher numbers. Also, I still can't help but notice that, despite the Martha's Vineyard crisis being the one with the fewest people sent, it's the only one notable enough for a Wikipedia page. It's weird, it's almost like it's the only one of the cities they're shipping them to where the right's narrative about undocumented immigrants straining the economy could actually come to pass with those numbers they're sent.
