Highly redacted documents related to DeSantis' migrant flights stunt raise more questions than answers, _jahan writes.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration picked a convenient time to release sought-after documents related to its anti-immigration stunt that relocated migrants from Texas to other areas of the country. And those documents — which were highly redacted — raise more questions than answers.
Since the relocation program’s inception, DeSantis and his administration have been secretive about its inner workings and have refused to publicly disclose many aspects of its covert operation. The documents released on Thursday are a continuation of the lack of transparency surrounding the program.
That claim — of a purported need to protect “trade secrets” — was cited by the DeSantis administration as its reason for redacting so much of the documents. An administration official said vendors decide which portions of their proposals they consider to be “confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise not subject to disclosure” pursuant to Florida’s public records laws," reported the Herald.
