Sanctuary state California and woke Governor Gavin Newsom are investigating 'state-sanctioned kidnapping' after 16 migrants were dropped on the doorstep of a Sacramento church without 'advance warning'.
The young Venezuelan and Colombian men and women were dropped off on Friday outside the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento without 'advance warning' and with only a backpack's worth of belongings each, said Eddie Carmona, campaign director at PICO California, a faith-based community organizing group that has been assisting the migrants.
The migrants had entered Texas via the southern border. California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a statement to say they had been transported from Texas to New Mexico before being flown to Sacramento.
But state Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a separate statement in which he said the migrants possessed documentation allegedly showing they had arrived from Florida.
They had already been processed by U.S. immigration officials and given court dates for their asylum cases when 'individuals representing a private contractor' approached them outside a migrant center in El Paso, Texas, Carmona said.
'They were lied to and intentionally deceived,' Carmona said, adding that the migrants had no idea where they were after being dropped off in Sacramento.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg likened the act to that of human smuggling.
'Whoever is behind this must answer the following: Is there anything more cruel than using scared human beings to score cheap political points?' Steinberg asked in a statement.
'Sacramento represents the best of American values. We always welcome the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses, and we always will.'
Governor Newsom said he and Attorney General Rob Bonta met with the group of migrants on Saturday and learned they were transported from Texas to New Mexico and then flown by private chartered jet to Sacramento.

Then embrace the suck and shaddap.
Then someone did the right thing by bringing them there. How is that a crime?
Nice virtue signaling, and a noble concept, but look at the video from the Row Hotel in NYC that is filled with migrants to get a true understanding of how off base this is.
Then someone did the right thing by bringing them there. How is that a crime?
A Catholic church. Tuff shiite.
Where was the official outrage when Biden’s representatives flew illegals to locations in California in similar circumstances?
Bill Clinton, George Bush and Obama are the ones flying them into the USA via private jet.
It appeared they showed up at Americas doorstep with no notice , so they were brought to the greatest sanctuary state in all the land. Youre welcome gov.
PICO...hmmm...
Soros connection, of course...as well as Frank the Hippie Pope.
Pope Francis encourages meeting of popular movements in California [George Soros Ties]

Stockton, Calif., Feb 17, 2017 / 05:12 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Pope Francis on Friday sent a message of encouragement to the hundreds of religious and community leaders participating in a meeting of popular movements being held this week in California.
“It is the Church, the Christian community, people of compassion and solidarity, social organizations. It is us, it is you, to whom the Lord Jesus daily entrusts those who are afflicted in body and spirit, so that we can continue pouring out all of his immeasurable mercy and salvation upon them,” Pope Francis said in his Feb. 17 message to a regional meeting of popular movements being held in California.
“Here are the roots of the authentic humanity that resists the dehumanization that wears the livery of indifference, hypocrisy, or intolerance.” The Feb. 16-18 conference being held in Modesto, about 30 miles southeast of Stockton, was organized with the support of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, and the PICO National Network.
The PICO network was a recipient of part of a $650,000 grant from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations. Documents from the foundations posted to DCLeaks.com claimed the grant was part of a strategy to use Pope Francis’ U.S. visit to shift the priorities of the Catholic Church in the United States “to be a voice on behalf of the poor and communities of color.”
Health-Care Reform and the President’s Faithful Helpers (Info on “PICO”-Possible ACORN Replacement)

Founded in 1972 under the leadership of Father John Baumann, a Jesuit who learned community organizing in Chicago, PICO has become heavily invested in promoting the president’s health-care reform. It has organized “Faith and Health Care Sundays” throughout the country. When the San Diego Organizing Project, a PICO affiliate, held an “action on health care” at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, Pastor Bob Fambrini accused opponents of misleading the faithful on health care in the same way that they had supposedly “lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.”
To allay fears about the Democrats’ health-care plan, PICO has teamed up with the liberal Christian group Sojourners and the George Soros-funded Catholics in Alliance for the Public Good to provide congregations with a “Health Care Tool Kit.”

Drop them off at Newsome mansion.
Isn't this like Biden flying illegals into a red state in the middle of the night? That didn't seem to be a problem to the Left...
One thing about Democrats, there is a motive underlying everything they do.
They have employed lawfare against Trump to take him out, it remains to be seen if the strategy will work.
This article points to my opinion of what they are going to do to take out DeSantis.
This story alludes to the strategy, they are getting overwhelmed by the number of migrants flooding their states, to fight back they will start making allegations of forced kidnapping by states like Texas and Florida.
Ultimately, they will concentrate on taking out DeSantis by saying he’s breaking the law by kidnapping children in Florida and sending them to California.
I would not be surprised to hear about a Grand Jury being convened in California to investigate how all these migrants are getting to California which will ultimately accuse DeSantis of breaking the law.
The irony of a democrat asking that question.......
You don’t need to investigate crap, Gruesome. They are in the country ILLEGALLY. You want to investigate something, start with that sonny.
So what’s Newsome think he’s going to do, declare war on Texas? Like we’re shaking or something. Get outta here......you are nothing here. Just another California Punk. Get outta here with this......
Oh No! Someone should have loaded their newly acquired suitcases with free and substantial goodies!
Agree but remember socialists always scream the loudest when they run out of other peoples money.
Law is not defined by a poem. Should have sent these illegal invaders back to Mexico. They are not refugees of anything. But Cali should welcome them. After all illegal invaders on welfare are the best thing for an economy... Or so we’ve been told.
