California Officials Probe Private Jet Arrival of 16 Migrants in Sacramento

Sixteen migrants from Venezuela and Colombia were flown on a private chartered jet to California and dropped off outside a Catholic church building in Sacramento on Friday, prompting an investigation into whether they were transported from outside a Texas migrant center under false pretenses. The migrants were carrying documents that mentioned the Florida Division of Emergency Management and the state’s “voluntary transportation program.” The documents also named Vertol Systems Company Inc. as the contractor for the Florida program and the one carrying out the transport.
