TL;DR Summary

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis defended his administration's decision to fly migrants to California during a surprise visit to Arizona's southern border, but did not respond directly to criticism from California Governor Gavin Newsom. DeSantis said the policy had been debated and vetted by Florida legislators who had agreed to set aside millions for the migrant relocation program. The flights triggered outrage from Democrats, including the White House, and investigations are underway. DeSantis has been a sharp critic of the Biden administration's handling of immigration and the state has filed lawsuits challenging some of the policies.
