Migrants who were flown to the wealthy US island of Martha’s Vineyard this week in what critics have denounced as a “cruel political stunt” by Republican lawmakers are being moved to a military base, Massachusetts state officials announced.
Approximately 50 migrants, including about half a dozen children, boarded buses on Friday to head to the ferry to Cape Cod, where Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker said they would be housed temporarily at Joint Base Cape Cod.
They will be given dormitory-style housing, food and services, including healthcare and access to counselling, Baker said in a statement, adding that 125 National Guard members will be activated to assist in the relief effort.
