Attorney General Ashley Moody, who was reelected last year and is seen as a potential 2026 candidate for Florida governor, has been a steadfast, reliable ally of Ron DeSantis. | Marta Lavandier/AP PhotoTALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s Republican attorney general, in a Thursday letter to the Justice Department, shot back at California Democrats who urged the DOJ to investigate the state over migrant flights to California and Martha’s Vineyard, contending that the transfers were legal.
“California’s letter requesting that the U.S. Department of Justice investigate Florida is a ridiculous political stunt,” Moody said in a statement. “Our voluntary immigration relocation program is lawful, and California’s request fails to identify any violation of federal law.
Moody’s office did not immediately answer questions as to who California authorities may have talked to or if they came to Tallahassee. Bonta’s office in mid-June submitted a lengthy public records request to both DeSantis’ office and the Division of Emergency Management, which has oversight of the private vendors that have been hired as part of the multi-million migrant relocation program.
