South American migrants were unexpectedly flown from Texas to California's state capital and dropped off at the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento in a move likely to inflame immigration debate.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento on Friday received some unexpected visitors: 16 migrants from South America who had been flown in on a private chartered jet from New Mexico after being transported from the border town of El Paso without any coordination with the church or with California authorities.

Opponents describe the moves as cruel political stunts that use immigrants as pawns and leave them many miles from family, resources and even the courthouses where they are often expected to appear to plead their cases for asylum.Gov.
Bonta confirmed that his office is “investigating the circumstances by which these individuals were brought to California” in a statement Saturday.
