Officials in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration confirmed Tuesday that they were responsible for sending 16 migrants from the southern border to the Diocese of Sacramento’s Catholic Charities headquarters in California.
The South American migrants were flown to California from the Texas border and dropped off at the Catholic Charities headquarters last Friday, June 2.
The Florida officials also claimed responsibility for a second plane carrying 20 migrants that arrived in Sacramento a few days later.
The Florida Division of Emergency Management said in a statement to Fox News that the migrants’ travels to California were “voluntary.”
