President Donald Trump on Sunday denied reports that hundreds of migrants would be flown from the Mexican border to Florida and other areas in the U.S. interior to lessen the workload at crowded Border Patrol facilities. "There are no plans to send migrants to northern or Coastal Border facilities, including Florida," Trump wrote on . Ron DeSantis also said Sunday that Trump told him he didn't approve and wouldn't authorize to fly the immigrants. McAleenan said there are currently 16,000 people in custody at Border Patrol stations and ports of entry. The government began flying hundreds of migrants from Texas to San Diego, to distribute the workload at Border Patrol facilities more evenly.
