"As we do with any shelter operation, we are focused on meeting the immediate needs of people we are sheltering, and engaged in contingency planning if the situation changes," according to a"We are grateful to the many local and neighboring community members who have reached out with offers of support," the statement adds.Residents across Martha's Vineyard said they were scrambling to care for the immigrants, who arrived on two separate planes.
"Everything from beds to food to clothing to toothbrushes, toothpaste, blankets, sheets — I mean, we had some of it ... but we did not have the numbers that we needed," said Lisa Belcastro, who runs the island's homeless shelter, inMost of the migrants that arrived at the New England summer vacation spot were from Venezuela, and many spoke little to no English. Local Spanish-speaking high school students were brought in to serve as translators.
Edgartown Police Chief Bruce McNamee told NPR that many of the migrants were confused as to why they were dropped off without warning. "There is a lot of concern. We have talked to a number of people who've asked, 'Where am I?' And then us trying to explain where Martha's Vineyard is has been a challenge," McNamee said.
