DeSantis' Controversial Migrant Flights Draw Criticism and Outrage.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' recruiters targeted Sacred Heart Catholic Church in El Paso to transport asylum-seekers to California on taxpayer-funded private jets, drawing criticism from El Paso's Catholic bishop. DeSantis has acknowledged that Florida paid to transport 36 mostly Venezuelan migrants from Republican-led Texas to Sacramento on charter flights last Friday and on Monday. The governor says they made the trip voluntarily, but some migrant advocates challenge this claim. DeSantis has split with bishops over the death penalty, which the governor supports and the church doesn't.
