California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta is investigating the circumstances surrounding a group of South American migrants who were flown to Sacramento on Friday without prior arrangements in place.
The migrants were reportedly dropped off outside a Sacramento church, and Bonta believes the state of Florida may have been involved in arranging the transport.
In a statement late Saturday, Bonta said that the individuals were in possession of documentation purporting to be from the government of the State of Florida. He added that the state is evaluating potential criminal or civil action against those who transported or arranged for the transport of these vulnerable immigrants.
“State-sanctioned kidnapping is not a public policy choice, it is immoral and unacceptable,” Bonta said in the statement. “Governor DeSantis has demonstrated his pettiness, his lack of compassion, and his disregard for the rule of law.”
The investigation is ongoing, and Bonta is urging anyone with information to come forward. He also said that the state is committed to protecting the rights of all Californians, regardless of their immigration status.
