TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Newly released documents show that top staffers for Gov. Ron DeSantis including his chief of staff were directly involved in the states program to send migrants from Texas to Marthas Vineyard.
In the two weeks leading up to the Sept. 14 transport of almost 50 Venezuelan migrants to the island, DeSantis chief of staff, James Uthmeier, sent text messages and had phone calls with Larry Keefe, a former Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney who is now DeSantis hand-picked public safety czar. The messages make clear that Keefe was in Texas helping coordinate the flights and had the full support of the governors chief of staff, according to records released by the governors administration late Friday.
On Sept. 5, more than a week before the first flight, Keefe texted Uthmeier that he was back out here and the chief of staff responded that he endorsed the effort.
Very good, Uthmeier texted. You have my full support. Call anytime.
