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 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.
