Migrants fleeing the terrifying violence of gang-controlled Haiti will join others getting shipped out to Democratic strongholds like Martha’s Vineyard, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has warned.

“We do have our transport program … that’s going to be operational,” DeSantis told podcaster Dana Loesch on Tuesday of the mass busing of migrants away from border states.

“Haitians land in the Florida Keys, their next stop very well may be Martha’s Vineyard.”

The Sunshine State is only about 840 miles from Haiti, where armed groups have taken control following the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry.

Roughly 1.4 million Haitians are on the verge of famine, aid groups say, and more than 15,000 people have been left homeless.

DeSantis has deployed dozens of officers and soldiers, along with helicopters, drones and boats to patrol the South Florida waterways for any ships arriving from the country, Politico reports.
