Some of the 49 migrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard by the state of Florida are now able to legally work in the United States and have temporary protections from deportation — because they are considered victims of a potential crime, their attorney says.
The migrants are eligible for these protections because they applied for a special kind of visa meant for crime victims who are helping law enforcement, after they said they were tricked into taking charter flights from San Antonio to Massachusetts with false promises of jobs and other aid, said Rachel Self, an attorney for the migrants.
Maybe I’m dumb but this seems to mean that not everyone applied. You can’t get the thing if you don’t apply for the thing.
Pretty hard to apply for the thing if you’re not told about it and given the application. Were they all told about it?
