The Department of Justice has been tapped by California Governor Gavin Newsom to investigate whether Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s controversial decision to send two flights of migrants north would amount to “kidnapping”. I’m formally requesting the DOJ begin an immediate investigation into these inhumane efforts to use kids as political pawns. This is absolutely sick -- profiteering off of the trafficking of children sounds a whole lot like the business of coyotes. Maybe we’ll send to Chicago, Hollywood, Martha’s Vineyard. Who knows?” Mr DeSantis reportedly said to a roomful of applause in a speech delivered on Friday evening at the Four Seasons in Orlando, less than a week before the two planes would land in Martha’s Vineyard.
