Second flight carrying migrants lands in Sacramento; California officials say Florida set up travel
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Another group of approximately 20 migrants have arrived in Sacramento on a private flight.
The plane arrived on Monday morning, said Tara Gallegos, a spokeswoman for California Attorney General Rob Bonta. It follows the arrival of 16 migrants from Venezuela and Colombia on Friday.
Bonta’s office has made contact with the new arrivals and believes their trip to Sacramento was arranged by the same company. Bonta says the travel appears to have been arranged by the state of Florida and a company it hired to transport migrants.
In both cases, it appears the migrants were approached in Texas, taken to New Mexico and then flown to California’s capital, Bonta’s office said.
