Whoever, picked them up left some of them stranded at a La Quinta motel 11 miles from the migrant center
They were told they could no discuss their travel plans to Delaware with anyone z
Disgusting...Who is DeSantis hiring?
I'm sure these people are criminals...
Operatives linked to DeSantis promised to fly migrants to Delaware -- but left them stranded
San Antonio, Texas
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 lanes of highway that loop around downtown San Antonio.
A woman with straight, light-colored hair got out of the rented Infiniti. She took the outdoor stairs, walked to the far end and knocked on the doors to rooms 243 and 241, where a group of Venezuelan asylum-seekers had spent five anxious days waiting.
She brought them food and a message: They were being sent to Delaware. The bus to the airport would be leaving at 5 a.m. the next day — Tuesday, Sept. 20 — she said, according to interviews with six migrants housed at the hotel.
The migrants didn’t know that they were being swept up in an operation that bore striking similarities to one organized the week before by operatives for Gov. Ron DeSantis that ended with 48 Venezuelan migrants dropped off on a Massachusetts island.

According to flight tracker website, FlightAware, two flights from company Ultimate Jet Charters originated at Kelly Field in San Antonio arrived at Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday at 3:12 p.m. and then at 3:28 p.m.
Evidence of the two flights.
They did not originate at San Antonio International or Stinson (Public airports)
Kelly Field is a former AF base.
It is a federal government contractor-secure site.
It is not available for commercial aviation.
It is where the president lands when he flies into San Antonio.
It is also a maintenance site for large military planes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Field
Martha's Vineyard-bound flights carrying migrants originated in San Antonio
Source: My San Antonio.com
According to the Vineyard Gazette, 48 people landed "unexpectedly" at the Martha's Vineyard Airport. Massachusetts State Sen. Julian Cyr told the local media outlet that the plane originated in San Antonio. Martha's Vineyard airport employees assumed the flights were chartered planes carrying corporate groups for golf retreats and other events, which are common at this point in the year. It wasn't until the plane landed that officials realized the arrival was another plot from a Republican governor.
Previous plans from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have sent planes to Chicago. On Thursday, September 15, Abbott said online that he had sent two buses to Washington, D.C., but his office told the New York Times that Texas was not involved in the Martha's Vineyard plans.
NPR also reported the planes originated from San Antonio.

Old Enough! on Netflix...Just watch one 10 minute episode to freak out!
Old Enough! is a Japanese reality show where little kids run errands all by themselves.
In the first episode an adorable 2 years walks 1/2 mile to the grocery store by himself! He walks along a bus! He's not in a rural setting.

Vela is accused of numerous abuses. In this case, she kicked out a family from a county park so that her family could have the pavilion....
She also did some weird shakedown at an auto accident even though she did not have jurisdiction because she was the constable, not law enforcement.. She wanted to do a cavity search on someone. I believe it happened in Leon Valley or San Antonio and the only authority she would have would have been a first responder until the correct unit arrived on scene to make sure everyone was safe or whatever....
Good riddance. She's another Trump. She won't be bothering candidates and volunteers in November. She's a Democratic who has a vendetta against the Democratic Sheriff and DA. She demands complete loyalty and wanted BLM to back her. She was banned from political events due to what she did up in Dallas. Now she will be banned as part of her punishment. She was convicted of felonies, but will probably get probation. She's a psychopath who cares only about herself.

Jury finds Michelle Barrientes Vela guilty on 2 counts of tampering with records
Former Precinct 2 constable could face a maximum punishment of up to 10 years in prison

Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales thanked the jury for their service and for staying “focused on this complex case.”

https://www.ksat.com/news/2019/04/04/records-pct-2-deputies-proposed-cavity-search-on-teen-ordered-warrantless-blood-draw/LEON VALLEY, Texas – A 19-year-old San Antonio woman involved in a car crash earlier this year had her blood drawn without the arresting law enforcement agency first obtaining a search warrant and was nearly subjected to a cavity search, a sworn affidavit and EMS records obtained by the KSAT 12 Defenders show.
The driver, identified as Madison Huizar, was taken into custody Feb. 13 by Bexar County Precinct 2 deputies following her involvement in a two-vehicle crash in the intersection of Bandera Road and Timco West, inside Leon Valley city limits.
"You want to get original? I am the constable."
