The arrival of these groups on Saturday comes after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis paid for the transfer of 50 migrants on two planes to the millionaire island of Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday.

DeSantis spokeswoman Taryn Fenske said this shipment is "part of the state's relocation program to transport [asylum seekers crossing the border] to sanctuary sites."
