Over the weekend, California officials began investigating the mysterious plane of immigrants and its origin. Bonta stated that no arrangements were made for the immigrants after landing, and that the state is considering “potential criminal or civil action against those who transported or arranged for the transport of these vulnerable immigrants.”

Bonta also made a statement condemning the idea of state-sanctioned kidnapping, calling it “immoral and disgusting.” He emphasized that immigrants are an important part of the nation’s history and should be treated with respect and compassion.

DeSantis’s Response

At the time, a spokesperson for DeSantis confirmed the flights and stated that they were intended to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations.
