"Governors Newsom and DeSantis clash over migrant flights to California"

California Governor Gavin Newsom has threatened Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with kidnapping charges over South American migrant flights to Sacramento, citing California kidnapping laws in a tweet. DeSantis drew national headlines last year when the state of Florida flew a group of South American migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, which had touted broad support for sanctuary policies. More than a dozen migrants were transported from Texas to New Mexico before being flown to Sacramento and left on the doorstep of a local church Friday "without any advance warning," Newsom said over the weekend. California officials are investigating the migrant arrivals in Sacramento and are evaluating potential criminal or civil action against those who transported or arranged for the transport of these vulnerable immigrants.

"Political Feud Sparks Migrant Flights to Sacramento"

California Governor Gavin Newsom has threatened Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with kidnapping charges after South American migrants were sent to Sacramento by the state of Florida as a political stunt. Newsom cited state kidnapping laws in a tweet to DeSantis, whom he called a “small, pathetic man.” Newsom's administration is investigating the circumstances around who paid for the plane trips, whether migrants were misled, and whether laws were violated, including kidnapping. It is unclear what legal action the state plans to take.
