Florida officials mum as second migrant flight arrives in Sacramento

ByTALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A second plane full of migrants from the Texas border landed in Sacramento on Monday, leading California officials to escalate allegations that the DeSantis administration has resumed its controversial relocation program.

The flight carrying some 20 people landed at a small Sacramento airport around lunchtime Monday, marking the second time the same plane touched down in California carrying migrants since Friday, according to officials with the California attorney general’s office. California authorities said the Monday flight was likely orchestrated by Vertol Systems, the same company that carried out the trip to Sacramento last week and the one last year to Martha’s Vineyard.

The most recent flight to Sacramento landed on the same day a sheriff’s office in Texas recommended charges be brought in connection with the migrant flights to Martha’s Vineyard. In the face of critics, DeSantis has maintained that Florida’s controversial migrant flights are a way to protest the “open border” immigration policies of President Joe Biden. Frequent political adversaries, DeSantis and the Biden administration are currently entangled in a legal battle as Florida claims the feds are ignoring federal immigration laws.
