DeSantis’ office scathes migrant flights into Florida by Biden admin, vows to fight back

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The bulk of the 386,000 illegal immigrants permitted to fly to interior U.S. airports as part of a contentious parole and release admissions program have reportedly been directed to Florida.

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, President Joe Biden’s controversial admissions program has facilitated the transportation of over 386,000 migrants through February of this year to interior U.S. airports, since it launched in October 2022.

“The federal government is encouraging illegal immigration and even aiding these individuals to enter the country,” said Bryan Griffin, communications director for Gov. Ron DeSantis. “They’ve cloaked these secretive flights as a lawful parole program. The state of Florida is fighting back in Court to end this practice and stop the federal government’s illegal immigrant importation efforts.”

The group reports the information came from government documents listed under the “CHNV program” or the “Advanced Travel Authorization” program.
