BREAKING: Florida confirms involvement in migrants relocated from Texas to California. A statement from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration says the relocation was voluntary. Full statement here:
Anthony York, California governor's office senior advisor for communications, released the following statement in response:
Gabby Trejo, executive director of Sacramento ACT, a collaboration of religious congregations in the Sacramento area, said the young migrants told advocates that they're ready to work and contribute to the community. All of the migrants had already been given pending court dates by U.S. immigration officials before they were approached in El Paso, Texas, by people promising jobs, she said.
DeSantis announced his presidential bid just weeks ago, and he's been quick to highlight his role in moving migrants last year to the pricey Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard. It's not yet clear if the new arrivals in Sacramento plan to stay in California or will eventually seek to go elsewhere, advocates said. Four who arrived on the first flight on Friday have already been picked up by friends or family members, but the rest remain in the care of local advocacy groups.
“We're allowing them to define what their needs are and how we can best meet them,” said Cecilia Flores, of Sacramento ACT.Bonta, who met with some of the migrants who arrived Friday, said they told him they were approached by two women who spoke broken Spanish and promised them jobs. The women traveled with them by land from El Paso to Deming, New Mexico, where two men then accompanied them on the flight to Sacramento. The same men were on the flight Monday, Bonta said.
