Groups worked to feed and house South American migrants flown to Sacramento under allegedly false pretenses. Meanwhile, California officials weighed whether Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration should face charges for arranging the flights.
Meanwhile, California officials were weighing whether Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration should face kidnapping or other charges for arranging the flights.
Anthony York, California governor's office senior advisor for communications, released the following statement in response:"This is exploitative propaganda being peddled by a politician who has shown there are no depths he won’t sink to in his desperate effort to score a political point. Governor Newsom said it best. The Florida governor is small and pathetic, and this video is just another reminder of that.
Gabby Trejo, executive director of Sacramento ACT, a collaboration of religious congregations in the Sacramento area, said the young migrants told advocates that they're ready to work and contribute to the community. All of the migrants had already been given pending court dates by U.S. immigration officials before they were approached in El Paso, Texas, by people promising jobs, she said.
Another a plane load of migrants touched down in Sacramento without warning Tuesday. Governor Gavin Newsom, and Attorney General Rob Bonta are pointing fingers at Florida. NBC Bay Area's Raj Mathai spoke to Bonta for some insight. It's not yet clear if the new arrivals in Sacramento plan to stay in California or will eventually seek to go elsewhere, advocates said. Four who arrived on the first flight on Friday have already been picked up by friends or family members, but the rest remain in the care of local advocacy groups.
“To see leaders and governments of other states and the state of Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis, acting with cruelty and inhumanity and moral bankruptcy and being petty and small and hurtful and harmful to those vulnerable asylum seekers is blood-boiling,” Bonta said in a Monday interview.
