DeSantis faces kidnapping charges for allegedly transporting undocumented immigrants to California.
California Governor Suggests Criminal Charges for Florida Governor Over Transport of Migrants
The feud between Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom and Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to escalate. Newsom recently suggested that DeSantis may face criminal charges after the state of Florida apparently paid for the transport of illegal immigrants from New Mexico to Sacramento.
The Los Angeles Times reported that a second plane, with 16 migrants from South America, arrived in the state’s capital city on Monday after another had landed Friday with about a dozen migrants on board.
“While we continue to collect evidence, I want to say this very clearly: State-sanctioned kidnapping is not a public policy choice, it is immoral and disgusting,” the California attorney general stated.
California passed legislation in 2017 making itself a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants. An effort to repeal the law was voted down in California Assembly Committee on Public Safety last year, KCRA-TV reported.
In September, Newsom hammered DeSantis after the Florida governor arranged to have a flight of 50 illegal immigrants sent to the exclusive island of Martha’s Vineyard, off the coast of Massachusetts. Newsom called DeSantis a “disgrace” and labeled his actions “monstrous.”
“These were people who were basically destitute and then put in a situation where they could have succeeded, but that was all virtue signaling. And not only did they not welcome them, they deported them the next day with the National Guard. Give me a break,” DeSantis said.
DeSantis May Face Criminal Charges
“Documents carried by the migrants appear to show that the weekend flight was arranged through the Florida Division of Emergency Management and that it was part of the state’s program to relocate migrants, mostly from Texas, to other states, California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said,” according to the Times.
Bonta said in a Saturday statement, “Today I met with over a dozen migrants who were brought to Sacramento by private plane, with no prior arrangement or care in place.”
“We are investigating the circumstances by which these individuals were brought to California. We are also evaluating potential criminal or civil action against those who transported or arranged for the transport of these vulnerable immigrants,” Bonta added.
Bonta told the Times on Sunday, “This is Gov. DeSantis, this is his baby, this is his project, his fingerprints are all over it. The governor signed it, the Legislature approved to fund it in the budget, and they hired Vertol Systems Co., a vendor, to carry out the work.”
Newsom tweeted, “@RonDeSantis you small, pathetic man. This isn’t Martha’s Vineyard. Kidnapping charges?”

Should DeSantis Fly Illegals to California?
DeSantis Fires Back at Critics of His Decision to Fly Immigrants to Massachusetts
Do you support Governor DeSantis’ decision to fly immigrants to Massachusetts?
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been facing criticism for his decision to fly immigrants to Massachusetts. However, his communications director, Taryn Fenske, pointed out that the immigrants signed a consent form before boarding the plane. The form stated that they agreed to hold the benefactor or its designated representatives harmless of all liability arising out of or in any way relating to any injuries and damages that may occur during the agreed transport to locations outside of Texas until the final destination of Massachusetts.
FL Gov. DeSantis’ office responds to the class action lawsuit that was filed in Massachusetts: “The immigrants were homeless, hungry, and abandoned – and these activists didn’t care about them then.”
Office also provided the consent form for flight to MA: https://twitter.com/Julio_Rosas11/status/1433089479479477760
Why Governor DeSantis’ Decision is Justified
It’s important to note that the immigrants who were flown to Massachusetts were homeless, hungry, and abandoned. Governor DeSantis’ decision to fly them to a different state was a humanitarian effort to provide them with the necessary resources and support. The consent form signed by the immigrants also shows that they were aware of the risks involved and agreed to hold the benefactor harmless. Therefore, the criticism against Governor DeSantis is unwarranted and unjustified.
