California Democrats Request Federal Investigation into Alleged Migrant Scheme by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

California Governor Gavin Newsom, along with California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Texas Sheriff Javier Salazar, have written a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland requesting a federal investigation into the actions of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The letter states that DeSantis has been luring and transporting migrants from Massachusetts to California, and potentially other states, in a scheme that has been deemed “unconscionable” by the three Democrats.

The letter states that while local investigations into the matter are ongoing, the U.S. Department of Justice has the unique capability to investigate cases that span multiple states. The letter also states that DeSantis has been using people as “political props” by persuading them to travel to other states based on false or deceptive representations.

Newsom, Bonta, and Salazar have all expressed their concern over the situation and are urging Garland to take action. They believe that a federal investigation is necessary in order to ensure that the migrants are not being taken advantage of and that their rights are being respected.

This is not the first time that DeSantis has been accused of using migrants as political props. In the past, he has been accused of using them to score political points in his home state of Florida. However, this is the first time that a federal investigation has been requested.

The letter from Newsom, Bonta, and Salazar is a clear indication that they are taking the matter seriously and are hoping that the federal government will step in and investigate the situation. It remains to be seen whether or not the Justice Department will take action, but the three Democrats are hopeful that their request will be taken seriously.
