The migrants that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis transported to Martha’s Vineyard might now have a path to citizenship. They are now eligible to apply for a type of visa called a “U” visa.

Last month, DeSantis transported migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard in what some people have called a political stunt. According to Politico, before they were flown to the island, they had no employment, housing or a clear pathway to citizenship. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office claims that because of these flights, the migrants are now eligible for a path to citizenship. The migrants are eligible to apply for “U” visas. This is a kind of immigration status for victims of some crimes that take place on US soil.
