Delaware‘s Governor has said they are ‘preparing’ for any migrants that may be sent to Biden’s home state by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – as the plane which was flown into Martha’s Vineyard heads towards Georgetown airport.
DeSantis last week sparked a spectacular escalation in the ongoing immigration war between the Republican GOP’s in charge of the border states and Democrat officials in so-called ‘sanctuary cities’.
He sent 50 migrants to affluent Martha’s Vineyard, and now appears that he is sending the Ultimate Air Shuttle to Georgetown, close to President Biden’s Rehoboth home.
It is understood that the flight will touch down at around 1.30pm, with a spokeswoman for Gov John Carney confirming they are ‘aware of reports’.
Emily David Hershman said: ‘We’re aware of the reports, and continue to prepare for the possibility of migrants arriving in Delaware unannounced.
‘Our teams at DEMA and DHSS are working with community organizations and other partners to make sure that migrants who arrive here have the support that they need.
‘We are coordinating with Federal officials and are prepared to welcome these families in an orderly manner as they pursue their asylum claims.’
The plane had started its journey from Longview, in Texas, before heading to San Antonio, and then Crestview, in Florida.
An hour after landing on the coast of Delaware, the plane is set to head to Teterboro airport in New Jersey.
It is the same aircraft which headed from San Antonio, to Crestview and then on to Martha’s Vineyard on September 14.
Republicans have stepped up their attacks on the Biden administration as they try to make immigration the theme of November’s midterm elections.
Lt. Gov Jeanette Nunez declared over the weekend that DeSantis’ administration is planning to send any illegal migrants from Florida to Delaware.
DeSantis has accused critics of his move to fly migrants to Martha’s Vineyard of ‘virtue signaling’, saying their concern for the welfare of the migrants was a ‘fraud’.
