Newsom threatens kidnapping charges after Florida dumps migrants at church

Cool, another thread from the Trump cult losers that devolved into a group-weeping session. We just don't get enough of those here.

I'm guessing that Newsom humiliating Hannity was the triggering event here.

Hannity made a huge mistake. He agreed not to interrupt Newsome. If conservatives can't talk over someone while that person debunks their lies, they have no hope in a debate.

Tell us how this "fake SS" works. I give the employer a SS number. 1 It doesn't exist.

2. It belongs to someone else. Quite a surprise when they get to tax time eh? You think millions of people are working under fake SS numbers and the actual owners of those numbers don't care? 3. It belongs to an 84 year old woman living in another state. No one notices this?

No, the "fake SS" is nothing more than cover for business hiring illegals.

Where do illegal immigrants usually get social security numbers?

Answer (1 of 39): Thanks for the ATA. Different immigrants do things differently in different circumstances. Some of the approaches I’m aware of, starting from the least to the most disruptive to the lives of others: Some are paid in cash and/or as contractors in a situation where a formal empl...

I'm hoping that a Federal judge rules that DeSantis took these actions as not an official function of his job as Governor, putting him personally in legal trouble.

Newsom threatens kidnapping charges after Florida dumps migrants at church​

Governor tweets ‘You small, pathetic man … Kidnapping charges?’, directed at DeSantis after migrants left outside Sacramento church

California’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, on Monday branded his rightwing Republican Florida counterpart, Ron DeSantis, a “small, pathetic man”, and appeared to threaten kidnapping charges for an episode in which a group of migrants was dumped at a Sacramento church.

Rob Bonta, California’s attorney general, said in a statement that 16 South Americans abandoned outside the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento on Friday were “in possession of documentation purporting to be from the state of Florida”, and may have been duped into boarding charter flights via New Mexico after entering the US in Texas.


The episode has parallels to what critics called a similar “soulless” stunt orchestrated by DeSantis last year in which his administration abandoned several dozen mostly Venezuelan migrants in Martha’s Vineyard.

Newsom, in a tweet posted Monday lunchtime directed at DeSantis, said: “You small, pathetic man. This isn’t Martha’s Vineyard. Kidnapping charges?” and linked to a section of California’s penal code stating anybody who “abducts or takes by force or fraud” a person found within the state “is guilty of kidnapping”.

Bonta, meanwhile, also said Florida was guilty of “state-sanctioned kidnapping” if it was found to be behind the flights, which the documents reportedly show were operated by the Vertol Systems Co, the same contractor hired last year by Florida’s department of emergency management to move migrants from Texas to Massachusetts for $1.6m.

“While we continue to collect evidence, I want to say this very clearly: state-sanctioned kidnapping is not a public policy choice, it is immoral and disgusting,” Bonta said in the statement, adding that he was “evaluating” whether violations of civil or criminal law had taken place.

Lawyers for the migrants caught up in DeSantis’s stunt last September were on the ground in Sacramento on Monday, and say the circumstances are nearly identical, with the group having been promised accommodation, jobs and clothing that never materialized, and with no advance notice to social services.

“We’re trying to establish what exactly they were told when they boarded the flights,” said Oren Sellstrom, litigation director of Boston-based Lawyers for Civil Rights.

“There are a number of needs people have when they’re abandoned like this, food and shelter, but also legal assistance, and there needs to be immediate legal action to ensure their federal immigration proceedings are not compromised by this political stunt.

“This kind of conduct is reprehensible, morally repugnant and also illegal. To the extent the individuals flown to California had the same kind of fraud and misrepresentation visited upon them that we saw with our Martha’s Vineyard clients, we fully intend to hold Governor DeSantis and his co-conspirators accountable in a court of law.”

How are the kidnapping charges going?
