It’s so strange, as we were told that California is oh so welcoming of illegals. Gavin Newsome declared San Francisco was a sanctuary city while he was mayor. Sacramento, the capital of California, declared themselves a sanctuary city all the way back in 1985
"Sacramento's Mayor:
" 'Human trafficking is not only despicable; it's a felony. I urge authorities to investigate how 16 vulnerable people were lured from El Paso, to Sacramento.
" 'Is there anything more cruel than using scared human beings to score cheap political points?' "

They don’t seem very welcoming
California authorities say migrants flown to Sacramento have links to Florida
More than a dozen migrants were flown to Sacramento and dropped off in front of a Catholic church on Friday, sparking speculation from California officials that the flight was arranged by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration.
DeSantis created a national furor last September when his administration paid to fly nearly 50 migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, an act that he frequently mentions during public appearances and speeches, including while campaigning for president.
But so far his administration had not commenced a second round of flights — even after state lawmakers expanded the program in February in response to a lawsuit that challenged whether the governor had the authority to ship people from Texas to Massachusetts. There is also an ongoing lawsuit in Massachusetts federal court that sought to block any more flights by Florida.
Funny how Democrats get so upset when illegals are dropped off in their states and cities, eh?
Bonta suggested that the DeSantis administration may be linked to the operation because he said the migrants appeared to have paperwork connected to Florida, though he did not provide details on the documentation. The migrants flown last fall by the DeSantis administration to Martha’s Vineyard were given pamphlets detailing the benefits available to them in Massachusetts.
If Florida flew them, he’d be happy to let Gavin know. What does it matter? It sure doesn’t look like Gavin is welcoming of illegals. DeSantis or Texas governor Greg Abbott should drop some off in front of the California governor’s mansion.
Eddie Carmona, campaign director at PICO California, a faith-based community organizing group that has been assisting the migrants, told The Associated Press that the migrants had already been given court dates for their asylum cases when a person representing a private contactor approached them outside a migrant center in El Paso, Texas. Carmona told the AP that “they were lied to and intentionally deceived.”
If he’s correct, then they came from Texas. Perhaps Gavin should be speaking to Joe Biden about his essentially inviting illegals to show up at the border. And all his Democratic Party Comrades. And look in the mirror and ask himself.
