Newsom floated the possibility of kidnapping charges after migrants were sent from Texas to Sacramento.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has warned of potential legal action against his Florida counterpart, Ron DeSantis, for allegedly leaving migrants outside a church in Sacramento.
Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Monday initiated an investigation into a group of migrants that were allegedly flown to Sacramento from Texas. Both claimed to have spoken to several of the migrants, who claimed to have been taken from the Lone Star state to New Mexico, and from there to California. They also appeared to have documents issued by the state of Florida, leading Newsom and Bonta to issue strong warnings against DeSantis and his administration.
“State-sanctioned kidnapping is not a public policy choice, it is immoral and disgusting,” Bonta said while announcing the possibility of criminal or civil charges against whoever organized the flights.
