Newsom calls on DOJ to investigate DeSantis' transports of illegal immigrants to California
Fox News
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling on the Department of Justice to investigate the transport of migrants into his state by Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration.
The program has transported migrants to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts and to California. It picked up additional funding signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis earlier this year and is one of many similar initiatives that some Republican states implemented in response to the ongoing border crisis.

In his letter, Newsom says that while it is common for jurisdictions and NGOS to facilitate travel elsewhere in the U.S., "this scheme is different." The letter cites news accounts that migrants were deceived into taking flights "based on promises of jobs and shelter."
