Delaware is preparing for the possibility of a surprise arrival of migrants in the town of Georgetown on Tuesday, amid speculation that they may be flown to President Joe Biden's home state.
The decision to send migrants to Martha's Vineyard, a well-to-do island where the Obamas have an estate, and Vice President Biden's home in Washington, DC, to protest the Biden are being speculated upon.
The teams at the Delaware Emergency Management Agency and Delaware Department of Health and Social Services are working with community organizations and other partners to make sure that migrants who arrive here have the support that they need.
She said that they were prepared to welcome the families in an orderly manner as they pursued their claims.
As part of Florida's "relocation program to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations," Ron DeSantis, a Republican who is running for re-election and is considered a 2024 presidential contender, chartered two planes to bring about 50 illegal immigrants from San Antonio, Texas, to Massachusetts island. The sheriff of Texas said on Monday that he is opening a criminal investigation into the transport of migrants to Martha's Vineyard, saying they were lured with promises of a better life.
In November, he suggested that he could send migrants to Delaware. There is no evidence at this time that migrants will be on board the plane that flew them to Martha's Vineyard.
Churches were on high alert.
"If this happens, we'll be as generous as we can be and do exactly what Jesus told us to do, which is love our neighbor as we love ourselves," the pastor said.

Taryn Fenske responded to the investigation in Texas.
After being abandoned, homeless, and left to fend for themselves, immigrants have been more than willing to leave the area. She said that Florida gave them an opportunity to move to a sanctuary jurisdiction that had more resources for them. Unless the MA national guard abandons these individuals, they have been provided accommodations, sustenance, clothing and more options to succeed, unlike the 53 immigrants who died in a truck found abandoned in Bexar County this summer.
