Border officials secretly sent 70 planes of migrants to Florida: DeSantis office
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The US has sent over 70 flights of migrants from the Mexican border to Jacksonville, Florida since the summer — but the Biden administration has not disclosed any information about the clandestine transports, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office claimed.
The alleged flights — which landed in overnight hours — come as officials struggle to deal with overcrowding at border facilities, according to The Washington Examiner .
“Over 70 air charter flights [on] jetliner airliners coming from the southwest border have landed at Jacksonville International Airport,” Larry Keefe, the Republican governor’s public safety czar, told the outlet.
“On average, there’s 36 passengers on each of these flights. And that has been going on over the course of the summer through September.”
Neither the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, nor Department of Health and Human Services would disclose any information to Florida officials regarding the flights, Keefe told the paper.
“We’re in a sad situation of trying to run an investigation. Who is facilitating this travel? How are they getting here? Who are the support people? Who are the sponsors?” Keefe reportedly asked, adding that his office was tipped off to the flights by local police.
Florida officials were aware that Jacksonville, which is along Interstate 95, was being used as a staging area for the migrants, who were taken by bus to locations up and down the coast, the report said.
“We don’t know definitively or specifically as to why Jacksonville is the chosen place,” Keefe said, according to the outlet. “[We’re] having to watch and observe — in effect, spy on the government to see what it is that they’re doing in the middle of the night out of these airport facilities.”
The disclosure comes on the heels of an exclusive Post report that found similar flights full of young migrants arriving in Westchester County Airport under the cover of night.
The White House said last month that the flights to suburban New York only carried children and teens.
“It is our legal responsibility to safely care for unaccompanied children until they can be swiftly unified with a parent or a vetted sponsor,” the US Department of Health and Human Services told The Post in response to the exposé.
The concern from the Florida statehouse came after a 24-year-old undocumented immigrant from Honduras, who posed as a 17-year-old and gave officials a fake name, allegedly killed the Jacksonville man who took him in and gave him a job last month.
The victim’s daughter said she believed the murder suspect arrived on one of the secret flights .

They got caught again!
Thank God for Governor De Santis of Florida and all he’s done to resist the regime.
He'll make a good President.
Honest Joe lies again.
Where oh where is the outrage from our normal NT purveyors of outrage over lying.
They lie and cheat, but can we really blame this cognitive mess?
20 years ago the old Joe Biden would have been against everything he's doing now. This the party of AOC and the radical left.
Joe is still against it, the people pulling his strings not so much.
I guess he proved that when he called the settlement with migrants "garbage!"
The outrage comes only when there is a (R) behind their name.
It does seem like there's a bit of a double standard...
So... They need Florida's permission?
How about securing the border?
Actually. they do. They can't just dump illegals where ever they feel like it. States are owed all information about every illegal being transported into their domain. Especially illegals that have not been tested for Covid-19. Or did the left suddenly forget about the pandemic going on?
Read those few little paragraphs at the end of the U.S. Constitution called "States Rights".
Yeah, they do.
You see 1st, the liberal elitist have their worker drones full programmed, dull and dumb. Just like they like them. So much so that they come to places like this and spout nonsense like that.
I say dump a plane load or two in some gated communities in places like San Fran, Berkley, Arlington Va, Wailea, LA and Tuxedo Park NY.
See how quick it stops then .....
So securing the border in Florida?
Like Biden has secured the border so damn tightly that only record numbers of illegal aliens are crossing!
“…who posed as a 17-year-old and gave officials a fake name, allegedly killed the Jacksonville man who took him in and gave him a job last month.”
Well, yea, I can see why some locals might be concerned. We have to wait until all the facts are in, again?

If there were a bridge with 15,000 people under it and 2000 went home while another 3000 went to Florida, where could the other10,000 hide?
Other red communities around the country.
