LULAC files DOJ complaint urging investigation into migrant flights to Martha’s Vineyard

WASHINGTON — The League of United Latin American Citizens has filed a complaint with the Department of Justice, calling for investigation into the transit of migrants last month from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard, specifically the involvement of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who took credit for the move.

In a news conference in Washington Wednesday, LULAC national president Domingo García of Dallas announced the organization was filing the complaint, and increasing the reward for information about the whereabouts of Perla Huerta to $10,000. Huerta was identified as the woman who allegedly arranged the flights to Martha’s Vineyard, and misled migrants about the flight’s destination.

“It’s time that we bring not only Perla Huerta to justice, but those that hired her and are complicit in this scheme to use human beings in this manner,” García, a former Texas state representative and Dallas City Council member, said.
