    Florida, Texas escalate flights, buses to move migrants.

    The governors of Texas and Arizona have sent thousands of migrants on buses to New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C., in recent months. [Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis] appears to be taking the strategy to a new level by using planes and choosing Martha’s Vineyard, whose harbor towns that are home to about 15,000 people are far less prepared than New York or Washington for large influxes of migrants.
    ...
    Texas and Florida have infuriated officials in destination cities by failing to provide passenger rosters, estimated times of arrival and other information that would make it easier to prepare. In contrast, Arizona has coordinated with officials in other cities.
    ...
    Upon arrival in Martha’s Vineyard, where former President Obama has a home, the [roughly 50 migrants] who are predominantly from Venezuela were provided with meals, shelter, health care and information about where to find work. Well-wishers dropped off donations, and volunteers signed up to provide whatever help they could offer. There were no signs of protest.

YESTERDAY'S POLL

Should those who commit crimes while trafficked receive some level of immunity?

501 votes, 53 comments

Context: Iowa teen who was trafficked ordered to pay the estate of her alleged rapist, who she killed.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - A spectrum of immunity should be considered in trafficking cases, based on the circumstances in hand. Immunity should be broadly granted if the trafficked individual is being detained, injury has already occurred or is imminent by threat, and use of violent self-defense is deemed the most practical action one can take for escape. [...] In other instances where the criteria set forth above is not met, lesser immunity should be granted. For example, if she claimed to be trafficked, but no evidence of detention (restraints) was present, no rapes occurred, no deadly threats had been corroborated, and she could have simply walked away from her situation; then, the circumstances likely warrant far less immunity.


Unsure - In most cases, yes. But it may raise tricky gray areas -- what if someone who is trafficked is more likely to perceive som...



Yes - Yes, but only if the crime was done...
