Ken Paxton, Pam Bondi fire back at Gavin Newsom: 'What Biden is doing is illegal'

Newsom calls for kidnapping charges as Govs. DeSantis, Abbott send
migrants to liberal areas

As Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R)
send migrants to Democrat-run cities, Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., is
asking the Justice Department to consider "kidnapping charges" and the
White House is considering taking legal action.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and former Florida Attorney General Pam
Bondi joined "Fox & Friends" Friday, arguing the federal government is
using the Justice Department for political purposes.

"Here we go again. Threats to potentially investigate people that we
disagree with by the FBI, the Department of Justice. That seems to be the
new way of handling political disagreement," Paxton told Brian Kilmeade.

"But no, what we're doing is completely legal. What the president is doing
by letting people come here illegally, that is illegal. I don't see Gavin
Newsom asking for an investigation of the president for violating federal
law."

OF HIS STATE

Paxton said the state of Texas has "the right to send these people out if
we want to," and said migrants are consenting to being transported.

"All the political stunts are being pulled by the Biden administration,"
he added, going after liberal politicians for staying quiet on the issue.

"I have never heard a complaint from a mayor. I've never heard a complaint
from any Democratic politician decrying what damage is being done to our
states and even some of these migrants who are dying along the way. I've
never heard a single complaint."

Bondi slammed Newsom for complaining about Abbott and DeSantis bussing out
illegals and said he should focus on the problems facing his own state.

"The crime rate is skyrocketing in California. He should be worried about
the crime, the legitimate crime in California, not Florida and Texas and
all the border states trying to protect our own citizens."

Bondi pointed out the irony of sanctuary states complaining about the
influx of migrants.

"I'm not sure how Governor Newsom can say that that's cruel and inhumane
and horrific to send people to Martha's Vineyard. And in Massachusetts,
they claim to be a sanctuary city and help people. So I would think these
people would be very happy to be there."

Bondi said Americans are "sick and tired" of the border crisis and
inaction from the Biden administration.

"We don't want these drugs coming across our borders. We don't know who
these people are. If they could be human traffickers, if they could be
pedophiles," she said.

The Biden administration will consider "litigation options" this week
against Republican governors sending migrants from the border to
Democratic cities, according to a report.

The Friday meeting involving White House officials along with Homeland
Security, State, Justice and Defense departments will also discuss other
border issues amid a record number of migrants entering the country
illegally, Axios reported.
