The state of Florida appears to have arranged for a group of South American migrants to be dropped off outside a Sacramento church.
“While this is still under investigation, we can confirm that these individuals had documentation purporting to be from the government of the State of Florida,” Bonta said late Saturday in a statement.
Bonta of the Los Angeles Times, the Florida Division of Emergency Management managed the flights. Last year, Florida paid Vertol Systems Inc. $1.56 million to transport migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.
Colombia and Venezuela are among the 16 migrants that arrived in Sacramento on Friday. They entered the United States through Texas.
According to California officials, they were carried to New Mexico and then flown by charter plane to California’s capital, where they were dropped off in front of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento.
People approached them outside a migrant facility in El Paso, Texas, offering them jobs and travel assistance, according to Eddie Carmona of PICO California, a faith-based organization that assists migrants. He claimed they had no idea they were being transferred to Sacramento and arrived with little items.

Vertol Systems Co. and the Florida Division of Emergency Management did not respond to emails seeking comment on Sunday. Bonta stated that he is determining if civil or criminal law violations occurred.
“While we continue to collect evidence, I want to say this very clearly: State-sanctioned kidnapping is not a public policy choice, it is immoral and disgusting,” Bonta said.
