Controversy Surrounds DeSantis Administration's Migrant Flights to California

The administration of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis confirmed that it was behind the recent migrant relocation flights to California, which were paid for with a $12 million fund of Florida taxpayer dollars. The migrants were reportedly treated well and the trips were voluntary, but California officials criticized DeSantis for sending migrants to a sanctuary city. DeSantis, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, has used the flights to criticize Democrats' immigration policies and has promised to resume building a border wall and reinstitute the "remain in Mexico" policy if elected president.
