Florida Attorney General Defends DeSantis Against Federal Scrutiny on Migrant Flights

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has called the request by California officials for the Department of Justice to investigate Florida's migrant flights to California and Martha's Vineyard a "ridiculous political stunt." Moody argues that the transfers were legal and that California failed to identify any violation of federal law. She also questions why California officials are only targeting Florida and not other states like Texas and New York. Moody, a staunch ally of Governor Ron DeSantis, has been critical of President Joe Biden's immigration policies and has sued the administration multiple times.
