The only thing that I would say does not make it human trafficking is that it was not done for profit, i.e. the humans trafficked were not "sold" or "traded" upon arrival. But that would be a very thin line, as they were obviously used for a political motive.
Devil's advocate. De Santis is really, really trying to take the mantel of "Main Lunatic of the GOP". He might succeed.

BTW.
The photo of the lady with the cap that has the blue stripe and the stars. That is a cap that features the Venezuelan flag (yellow, blue and red, with stars along the blue stripe). It is associated with the people AGAINST the regime; so, that lady has, at a minimum, already gone through one migration, leaving Venezuela. Her accent also tells me she was not born in the USA.
She could be a neighbor of mine (back home).

It's a shame it takes stunts by Republicans for the US media to focus on what is happening close to home and fueling migration.

I do not want to sound cynical.
But if the idea is that when a Venezuelan immigrant is "captured", s/he will be relocated to Martha's Vineyard, or any other "Northern" location, and this will DETER these immigrants...
I got some bad news for you, sunshine.

Maybe sanctuary states should bus all their sexual predators, murderers, and violent criminals to TX, FL, and AZ upon release from prison?

Correct. Venezuela immigrants will be thinking this is a very good way to escape their homeland issues. This will increase the number of people on the border.

"This is what republicans do", might be a useful soundbite for democrats, but they wonuldn't ever use it. (sigh)
