California investigates private jet transporting migrants to Sacramento.

California authorities are investigating who paid for the transportation of 16 migrants from Texas to Sacramento, who were flown in on a private chartered jet from New Mexico without any coordination with the church or with California authorities. The situation adds fuel to a controversy over similar ploys by conservative politicians in Republican-led states. Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta are investigating the circumstances around who paid for the group’s travel and whether the individuals orchestrating this trip misled anyone with false promises or have violated any criminal laws, including kidnapping.
