Florida legislature to consider boosting DeSantis's migrant flight program

Florida's legislature is poised to consider expanding Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R-FL) controversial migrant flight program during a special session this week.
 

Last year, DeSantis's office orchestrated two flights that carried roughly 50 illegal immigrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard , Massachusetts, sparking outrage from Democrats. Now the legislature is set to consider establishing an "Unauthorized Alien Transport Program" to build upon that.

"The federal government has proven itself unwilling to address this crisis. To mitigate the effects of this crisis on the state of Florida, there is hereby created the Unauthorized Alien Transport Program within the Department of Transportation for the purpose of facilitating the transport of inspected unauthorized aliens, within the United States, consistent with federal law," a description of the proposal reads.
