California's AG said Florida is responsible for a private flight that took migrants from El Paso to Sacramento in the latest immigration policy ploy.
DeSantis expanded Florida's migrant relocation in May after it signed sweeping new immigration laws into effect.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The state of Florida picked up asylum-seekers on the Texas border Monday and took them by private jet to California's capital city at taxpayer expense for the second time in four days, California officials said, prompting allegations that migrants were misled and catching shelters and aid workers by surprise.
Another plane carrying migrants arrived in Sacramento on Monday, marking the second flight in recent days that California officials allege was coordinated by Florida.
State leaders say migrants carried documents that point to a Florida-led ploy. Atty. General Rob Bonta is considering "potential criminal or civil action."
