June 6 (Reuters) - The state of Florida on Tuesday acknowledged a role in sending two flights of migrants to California, saying all of them traveled voluntarily. California officials have reported two such flights arriving without warning in the capital Sacramento in recent days, and said the migrants carried documents indicating their transportation involved the state of Florida. The migrants apparently never passed through Florida, but were moved from Texas to New Mexico and then flown to Sacramento. Advocates who aided the migrants in California said the first group was dropped at the doorstep of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento. They also said the migrants reported being unaware of where they were being taken and had been promised jobs.

June 4 (Reuters) - California's attorney general is investigating whether the government of the state of Florida played any role in sending more than a dozen migrants to the California capital of Sacramento without advance notice. Representatives of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis did not immediately respond on Sunday to a request for comment. They had initially been taken by bus from Texas to New Mexico and then flown by private jet to Sacramento, California Governor Gavin Newsom said in a statement issued on Saturday. Initial findings revealed the migrants possessed documentation "purporting to be from the government of the State of Florida," Bonta said. Florida paid $615,000 to an aviation company as part of a "relocation program of unauthorized aliens," Florida state data showed.
