On Friday, Lakota Man claimed in a thread that some non-native Canadians believe that native genocide occurred centuries ago, while police in the 1990s were leaving indigenous Canadians in remote Saskatchewan to freeze to death.
In the 1990’s police in Saskatchewan, Canada would arrest Native men and drive them to remote locations in sub-zero temperatures. They would then abandon them to freeze to death. This deadly practice was known as a Starlight Tour — No police were ever convicted for their deaths. pic.twitter.com/nuDpKMPzMo

Not surprisingly, this led comedian Patton Oswalt to think of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis:
Hi @GovRonDeSantis!!!! https://t.co/hqXELIMxWQ

It checks out except for the police and the arrests and the remote location and sub-zero temperatures.
Abandoned them to die on
uh
Martha's Vineyard

Moving them from the squalor of makeshift tent villages built underneath highway overpasses to Martha’s Vineyard — JUST LIKE THE NAZIs.

Oswalt and his pals much preferred it when they had 8,000 migrants living under an overpass in Del Rio, Texas.

As we reported Thursday, it took MSNBC’s Chuck Todd to point out that Martha’s Vineyard is “a literal island that doesn’t have any infrastructure.” Fifty more people could flip over the whole island.

I remember reading all those Jack London books about survival in the wilderness of Martha's Vineyard as a kid!

The mean streets of Martha's Vineyard.
Edgartown, once a pleasant community is now known as Hell's Foyér. Ruthless latino gangs rule the area, mariachi bands abound, bogedas, uh bo gay duhs, bo… somethings are replacing fashionable bistros and breakfast tacos are everywhere!

Yikes. @PattonOswalt objects to Martha's Vineyard but not the military camp MV shipped them to?
Something tells me he's being dishonest here.

Why are we even letting the residents of Martha’s Vineyard get away with the fiction that these migrants were starving and naked? We’ve actually been surprised by how well-dressed some of these people are walking across the border. Not all, certainly, but a good number.
