Calls for Federal Investigation of Migrant Flights Intensify as California and Texas Officials Demand Action

California officials, including the governor, attorney general, and a Texas sheriff, have called for a federal investigation into the state of Florida's role in recent migrant flights to Sacramento and Massachusetts. They allege possible fraud and deceit by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' administration, claiming that recruiters deceived migrants into taking flights to these locations based on promises of jobs and shelter. The officials have open criminal and civil investigations into the flights, while a Texas sheriff has already filed a criminal case. The letter urges a federal investigation due to the scheme's involvement in multiple states. DeSantis has defended the flights, criticizing California and other states for their open border policies.
