    Bexar County sheriff files criminal charges over DeSantis' migrant flight Texas Public Radio | By Dan Katz



    Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar on Monday filed criminal charges over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ operation to fly dozens of migrants from San
    Antonio to Martha's Vineyard under false pretenses.

    The flight was part of a Florida initiative to transport migrants out of
    Texas and into Democrat-led communities — a project DeSantis has championed
    and celebrated.

    Salazar has said that DeSantis' operation lured the migrants from San
    Antonio's Migrant Resource Center under false pretenses, promising them
    jobs in another city.

    “The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office has officially filed a completed
    criminal case with the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office regarding
    the incident from September 2022 where 49 migrants were flown to Martha’s Vineyard," Salazar's office said in a statement to TPR. "The charge filed
    is Unlawful Restraint and several accounts were filed, both misdemeanor and felony."

    The unlawful restraint charge would be a felony for five of the migrants
    who were under the age of 17.

    Salazar's office said it was not naming suspects involved in the case at
    this time.

    The relocations were overseen by his chief of staff, and head of public
    safety.

    "At this time, the case is being reviewed by the DA’s office," Salazar's
    office said. "Once an update is available, it will be provided to the
    public.”

    DeSantis’ office did not respond to TPR's requests for comment.

    Meanwhile, The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) issued an
    alert to all Latino refugee communities to prevent further exploitation of vulnerable communities.

    “We strongly advise individuals not to accept transportation offers from unknown individuals promising jobs, housing, and assistance without
    verifying the legitimacy of such proposals with local government
    authorities,” said LULAC’s President Domingo Garcia. “It is essential to safeguard against the trafficking of individuals for profit or political purposes.”

    PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - A suspected serial rapist from Orlando – who was out on bond for previous sexual assault arrests – has found himself behind bars, according to deputies.

    Vincent Laing Jr. was arrested Wednesday and charged with sexual battery with a deadly weapon by force amid an investigation into the alleged assault of a 41-year-old woman, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

    The woman called law enforcement after an encounter with Laing on Tuesday, who she said she met through a "hookup" website, according to an arrest affidavit. He told her to meet him at a home in Wellington, which was abandoned and under construction.

    Laing allegedly threatened the woman with a kitchen knife, and forced her to perform oral, vaginal and anal sex with him, which he recorded.

    At one point, the woman asked Laing directly if he was going to rape her, and he replied "yes," according to the affidavit. When she asked why he was doing this, he replied, "'cause I can."

    He gave her $20 before she left the house, the affidavit said.

    The woman, at first, said she wasn't going to report the incident to law enforcement, but she felt Laing's behavior was "unusual" and she suspected that "he had committed this before," the affidavit said.

    She searched his phone number, which returned his name – and the woman said she found several news articles about Laing who was previously arrested for sexual assault in Orlando, the affidavit continued.

    A Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office detective contacted a detective from the Orlando Police Department, who confirmed that there are five cases she has worked on in which Laing is the suspect.

    FOX 35 was able to find two incidents out of Orange County – from June and August 2023 – which show a similar pattern to the Palm Beach County incident.

    The affidavit also touched on these similarities, including meeting the victim through personal ads and social media, committing the assault in abandoned residences, possessing a knife, and recording the events on his phone.

    Laing was located, arrested and booked into the Palm Beach County Jail without bond.
