Newsom threatens kidnapping charges after Florida dumps migrants at church

[scruffy]

What a moron… the government full has the right to detain law breakers.

The government has no rights, you idiot.

 

[tahuyaman]

These were California laws that the Cali AG is pursuing. New York laws may be different.

Idiots do dumb things.

As former President Donald Trump faces ongoing legal challenges, his nemesis Governor Ron DeSantis is now finding himself in legal peril as well.

Following the flights that transported nearly 50 mostly Venezuelan migrants from El Paso to Martha's Vineyard, DeSantis' involvement has led the sheriff of Bexar County, Texas to recommend criminal charges against those involved in what many saw as a political stunt.

This is how democrats run campaigns now, they sue their political opponents or try to imprison them.

This is how the Soviets operated.

I just love all the legal experts. Help me out. If I smuggle Cocaine out of Mexico and am found in Ohio. Does that mean Ohio can’t prosecute me because the smuggling took place in Mexico?

The Victims arrived in California. You could argue that it was a Federal Case since it crossed state lines. But California can investigate it as well. But if the Feds get involved it becomes a Death Penalty case.

You are comparing apples and oranges, you dolt.

LOL!!! I just all the legal experts out there!

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.”

So much for Newsom's "sanctuary state" lie.

I guess they better arrest Eric Adams too

New York Mayor Eric Adams to bus asylum seekers upstate, much like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott bused asylum seekers to New York City

Just as Eric Adams has decried Abbott for busing immigrants to New York City, local officials upstate made similar complaints about Adams' plan.

If he did the same thing, sure.

Being a sanctuary state = "kidnapping is ok" to you?

It's not kidnapping. That's the lie Newsom is telling you to distract from the fact that he hates immigrants.

Is it illegal to fly illegal aliens around the country?

That's awful!! Has the Biden administration been jailed yet?

People crossing the border illegally are not being kidnapped by being moved to sanctuary cities or states.

WTF does Bexar county have to do with it? That’s San Antonio, not El Paso.

It‘s just some Soros dolt giving his useless opinion.

Somewhere were taken from El Paso, and some from San Antonio.
And here you are inventing another conspiracy theory about George Soros.

Won’t that mean more time in jail?
