(CNN) --

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre denounced Thursday that Republican Governors Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott sent immigrants to Martha's Vineyard and Vice President Kamala Harris' Washington residence as part of a "cruel and premeditated political stunt".

Jean-Pierre accused the governors of Florida and Texas of using immigrants as "political pawns" and called their actions "shameful... reckless and just plain wrong."

“The fact that Fox News and not the Department of Homeland Security, the city or local (non-governmental organizations) has been tipped off to a plan to dump immigrants, including children, on the side of a busy city street and Washington makes it clear that this is just a cruel and premeditated political stunt," Jean-Pierre told reporters at a White House briefing.

    Why do they do it?

    Is it legit?

DeSantis sent two planes carrying migrants to Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday night, his office said.

Abbott says his estate intentionally sent two buses of immigrants to Harris' residence in the nation's capital and they arrived Thursday morning.

An estimated 50 immigrants arrived in Martha's Vineyard Wednesday on two planes, according to Massachusetts State Sen. Julian Cyr, a Democrat who represents the area.

Dozens of immigrants were left standing on the sidewalk and in the grass outside the US Naval Observatory in Washington on Thursday morning.

The actions by the governors — both fierce critics of the Biden administration — are the latest series of moves by Republican governors to transport immigrants to liberal cities and states to protest what they say are inadequate federal border security efforts. south.

Jean-Pierre said migrants were misled about where they were being taken and what would be provided upon arrival, which he said was "deeply alarming".

“The children that Governor Abbott abandoned on Martha's Vineyard, the children that Governor DeSantis also abandoned, you know, they deserve better.

They deserve better than staying on the streets of Washington or on Martha's Vineyard,” said Jean-Pierre, wrongly attributing the migrants who were sent to Martha's Vineyard to Abbott.

Jean-Pierre said: “What they are doing is an illegal trick, it is a political trick.

And it's really disrespectful to humanity.

It doesn't give them any dignity... it's just cruel."
