Migrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard by DeSantis get special visas, lawyer says
Migrants tricked into taking flights to Martha's Vineyard from Texas are now eligible for U visas, providing protection and work eligibility, says attorney Rachel Self.
Some migrants granted U visas based on being victims of crime, following certification by Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Bona fide determinations in U visa petitions allow some migrants from Venezuela and Peru to work temporarily and avoid deportation until visa availability, attorney Self confirms.
The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to ensure that the right to adequate housing is guaranteed in the State party's next periodic report.
