Florida AG Warns DOJ Against Probing Migrant Transports

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody warns Attorney General Merrick Garland against investigating Florida's transportation of migrants, following a request from California Governor Gavin Newsom to the DOJ. Moody defends Florida's program, which flies migrants to sanctuary jurisdictions, stating that there is no basis for an investigation and accusing California of engaging in a political stunt. Republican-led states like Florida and Texas have been transporting migrants to cities with sanctuary policies, blaming the Biden administration for the ongoing border crisis. Moody has previously taken legal action against the administration and secured a win in blocking parole release policies for migrants.

"California Leaders Request DOJ Investigation into Florida's Migrant Transports"

California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have called on the Justice Department to investigate Florida's program responsible for transporting migrants to liberal cities. They argue that contractors hired by the state have used fraudulent tactics to coerce asylum seekers into accepting trips. The letter also mentions a similar program in Texas but does not address it. The move comes after two groups of migrants arrived in Sacramento, prompting investigations by the California Department of Justice. The Justice Department has not yet responded to the letter.
