Newsom threatens DeSantis with kidnapping charges after migrants dumped twice in four days

After 16 South Americans were abandoned outside a church on Friday, another flight of 20 migrants arrived on Monday morning

For the second time in four days, Florida picked up people seeking asylum and took them by private jet to Sacramento at taxpayer expense, California officials said on Monday after another flight arrived at a local airport.

California's Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, on Monday branded his rightwing Republican Florida counterpart, Ron DeSantis, a small, pathetic man", and appeared to threaten kidnapping charges after the first incident in which a group of migrants was dumped at a Sacramento church.
