Newsom’s Personal ‘Kidnapping’ Allegations

Moreover, DeSantis claims the flights had been “voluntary” and the unlawful immigrants that ended up in Martha’s Winery signed launch kinds to go to Massachusetts.
If that’s correct, case closed.
So the “#DeSantis trafficked these folks like cattle” narrative continues to crumble. Lt Gov of FL simply defined on nationwide TV that the immigrants signed varied consent kinds and that the journey to Martha’s Winery was purely voluntary, requiring them to log out in writing.

A column by SFist describes it as a program with a pleasant title that masks the truth that it “offers unsheltered San Franciscans a one-way Greyhound bus ticket out of city and asks them to please by no means come again.”
Or, in Newsom’s world – “kidnapping.”
