    NEW: Some of the 49 migrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard by the state of Florida are now able to legally work in the U.S. and have temporary protections from deportation — because they are considered victims of a potential crime under a special Visa
    A Venezuelan migrant reacts as he is led onto a bus at St. Andrews Episcopal Church on Friday, Sept. 16, 2022, in Edgartown, Mass., on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. A group of 48 migrants was flown to the island from Texas earlier this week, leaving them stranded. They are now being transferred to a military base in Cape Cod.
