Florida confirms it sent migrants to California amid Newsom-DeSantis feud
The Florida Division of Emergency Management on Tuesday confirmed the state was behind recent migrant flights to California amid a growing feud between the Golden State’s Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and the Sunshine State’s Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
“From left-leaning mayors in El Paso, Texas, and Denver, Colorado, the relocation of those illegally crossing the United States border is not new,” division of emergency management spokesperson Alecia Collins said in a statement to The Hill. “But suddenly, when Florida sends illegal aliens to a sanctuary city, it’s false imprisonment and kidnapping.”
She added that a “contractor was present and ensured they made it safely to a 3rd-party NGO,” which she said was Catholic Charities. The Hill has reached out to Catholic Charities for comment.
