The Florida Division of Emergency Management asserted that program was voluntary as the DeSantis administration remains at odds with President Joe Biden.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida officials confirmed Tuesday that the DeSantis administration was responsible for sending two planes full of migrants from the Texas border to Sacramento as a protest to federal immigration policies.
“From left-leaning mayors in El Paso, Texas, and Denver, Colorado, the relocation of those illegally crossing the United States border is not new,” Alecia Collins, communications director for the Florida Division of Emergency Management, wrote in a statement. “But suddenly, when Florida sends illegal aliens to a sanctuary city, it’s false imprisonment and kidnapping.”
Florida’s assertion that the flights were voluntary didn’t soften the Newsom administration tone, with spokesperson Anthony York on Tuesday reprising a tweet from Newsom saying the video was “another reminder” that DeSantis is “small and pathetic.” Florida pointed to the video of migrants traveling to California as proof that the trips were voluntary. The Division of Emergency Management said that a contractor, likely Destin-based Vertol Systems, “safely” passed the migrants to a third-party organization — Catholic Charities. The DeSantis administration pointed to other state and local leaders relocating migrants, including Republican Gov.
