The State of Texas previously denied any involvement with the flight that departed on September 14 with nearly 50 migrants on board.
Gov. Greg Abbott's office was aware of the migrant flight from Kelly Field in San Antonio to Martha's Vinyard before they departed last month, according to text messages. The governor's office released the messages in response to a Public Information Request. The state previously denied any involvement with the flight. KSAT's Alicia Barrera explains what she found in the public records.
In an email to KSAT, the Florida Center for Government Accountability said, “Those records indicated that Mr. Uthmeier was introducing Mr. Keefe to Luis Saenz as the point of contact for Gov. DeSantis.” On Monday, Sept. 5, Keefe texted in part, “I’m back out here,” referring to San Antonio. Uthmeier replied, “Very good. You have my full support. Call anytime.”Screenshots of text messages show communication between top aides for DeSantis’ Office before and after migrant flight.
According to the public records, Florida’s Department of Transportation received $12 million from the State’s COVID Fiscal Recovery Fund. An ABC news report said a Florida Treasury Department watchdog plans to run an audit to determine if the funds were appropriately used.
