Tensions Between Governors: The agreement comes amid growing tensions between the two governors following the relocation of a dozen migrants from the Texas border to Sacramento, California. The Florida Division of Emergency Management confirmed that the state was behind the recent migrant flights to California.
Legal Questions: Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) have questioned the legality of the flight to Sacramento, suggesting it could be “state-sanctioned” kidnapping. Hannity pushed back on Newsom, saying that the migrants had signed a waiver. However, Newsom noted that the waiver did not make any sense to him.
