DeSantis to continue migrant flights to Democratic states

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration plans to continue flying migrants who entered the country illegally to Democratic strongholds. That’s what his communications director said Saturday, a day after newly released records showed that the state paid nearly $1 million to arrange two sets of flights to send about 100 migrants to Delaware and Illinois. The flights had been scheduled to happen before Oct. 3 but apparently were postponed. They would be a follow-up to the Sept. 14 flights from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.
