SAN ANTONIO, Texas — For most of Tuesday, officials in Delaware and members of the public checked the status of a charter flight that was supposed to travel from San Antonio to President Joe Biden’s home state.
The plane’s scheduled flight plan bore the hallmarks of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ operation last week to fly 48 Venezuelan migrants from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard, an island in Massachusetts. It was chartered by the same company, Ultimate JetCharters, that arranged the two flights to Martha’s Vineyard last Wednesday on behalf of the state of Florida, and was one of the two planes used in that effort.
After hours of delays, the plane finally took off Tuesday — only to head for Nashville, Tennessee, and with no indication that any migrants were on board.
