Condemns Florida governor for trafficking migrants.
This is a symbolic resolution (not a law), passed by the New Jersey Assembly to condemn Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. It specifically references his 2022 action of chartering flights to relocate 50 asylum seekers from Texas to Martha's Vineyard without informing local authorities or aid organizations. The resolution states DeSantis' actions - using false promises to entice vulnerable migrants, holding them in hotels, and transporting them to an isolated location - mirror human trafficking tactics defined by the Department of Homeland Security. It sends copies to federal immigration committees and DeSantis to formally express New Jersey's disapproval of this political use of migrants.
