Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is threatening legal action after his administration claimed that the federal government sent 70 planes carrying young migrants to Jacksonville from the US-Mexico border region under cover of darkness this summer.
At a news conference Wednesday, the Republican DeSantis said that his office is looking at all legal avenues of recourse after going public with their allegation this weekend.
“We’re going to get together and figure out what we can do in the immediate term to protect folks in Florida,” DeSantis told reporters.
The governor acknowledged his options are limited because the federal government exercises control over airspace and immigration. But, he reasoned, “if they’re not doing that, then clearly the state should be able to come in and provide protections, and so that’s what we’re going to be looking to do.”
DeSantis also suggested the state should buy bus tickets to send the migrants elsewhere.
“If they’re going to come here, we’ll provide buses,” DeSantis said, adding, “I will send them to Delaware.”
