Texts Directly Tie DeSantis Administration To Migrant Flight Recruiter

Newly-revealed text messages prove that the DeSantis administration was actively working with Perla Huerta, the woman who recruited the migrants for DeSantis' political stunt a few months ago. Texts also reveal members of the Abbott administration in Texas in on the scheme. This is a HUGE development in this case, and it could easily prove that both governors abused their authority and misused state funds. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

CNN has gotten a hold of via a public records request, text messages between Perla Huta, who is of course the individual, the former Army Intelligence officer who recruited the migrants for Ron DeSantis flights to Martha Vineyard, uh, Martha's Vineyard. Um, they have text messages between her and an official with the DeSantis administration. That official is Florida Public Safety Czar. Larry Ke, and let me read you a little bit of this from CNN on September 12th, two days before the flights were to message Florida public safety are Larry Kef indicating she had recruited enough migrants to fill the planes Yai we are full. She wrote to him at 6:20 PM after the flights landed in Martha's Vineyard, Where to ro to ke victory Arms for you? Thank you for this opportunity and support Ke responded by saying, Thank you for all Perla. Let's drive on Salute to you, Larry.

So he, he, he signs his own texts, even though they're, they're coming from his cell. She knows it's you, Larry, like, I kind of feel like that's one of those becoming your parents saying you don't have to sign your own text. They, they know where it's coming from. Um, this is the first time that we have had firm confirmation that a member of the DeSantis administration was directly coordinating with the recruiter Perla Erta. So this now directly implicates the DeSantis administration here in Florida because, and here's why this matters, folks. There is a world of difference between DeSantis doing this as a campaign stunt, right? He's got over a hundred million in his political action committee. He could have used that money to do these flights that have been nothing wrong with that in the eyes of the law, in the eyes of every normal person. Yes, that's still terrible legally speaking. Nothing wrong with that. If he did it with state money,

You've just opened the door for an entirely new area of potential prosecution. Now they have wide discretion over what they can use these funds for here in the state of Florida. But there are limits there. There are things that cannot be done, especially if the reports, as the report suggests, if he used Covid funds, uhoh, now you're in serious crap. But it's not just the DeSantis administration because apparently Mr. Ke from the DeSantis administration and Miss Erta also both traveled over to Texas where they met with officials from the Greg Abbott administration to have them help to coordinate, to recruit people.

So you've got the DeSantis administration in Florida directly involved based on the text messages. This is now confirmed. You've got these two individuals also via text messages. Confirmed meeting with officials from the AVID administration in Texas. This is a multi-state, multi administration, multi-level scheme to ship these migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard using Florida money. The investigation, of course, is ongoing, but this is a massive revelation. We can now directly implicate both state governments in this plot. Now, last I had heard, because this story did go dark for quite a bit. Now this is, you know, the most recent update we've had. Last I heard they couldn't find Miss Erta, they didn't know where she was.
