Ron DeSantis defends transport of migrants to Sacramento, says he doesn't "have sympathy" for sanctuary states
CBSN
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis defended his state's recent transport of undocumented migrants from Texas to Sacramento, saying in Arizona on Wednesday that he has no sympathy for "sanctuary states," or states that limit cooperation with federal immigration agencies, such as California.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta said last Sunday the state was investigating potential criminal or civil action "against those who transported or arranged for the transport of these vulnerable immigrants," suggesting Florida might be implicated.
California Governor Gavin Newsom indicated in a tweet Monday that DeSantis might be charged with kidnapping, and told NBC News Tuesday that the migrants were "human beings used as pawns for a guy's political advancement."
