NBC News analyst condemned Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis while on Dean Obeidallah's radio show, but warned not to accuse the governor of human trafficking.
R., may not qualify as human trafficking, it may still be against some federal laws.
"People keep throwing around the term ‘human trafficking.’ Be careful with that. I don’t think it violates the human trafficking statutes, but I absolutely think that it violates a law that says you can’t transport across state lines, undocumented migrants, period, end of discussion," he warned."So whatever the hell was done with DeSantis, and by the way-just, so people understand this, these Venezuelans, they weren’t in Florida.
"People might go, ‘oh yeah, Florida’s got an immigration problem.’ Uh no, they didn’t swim over. They were in Texas. And DeSantis sent a Florida plane, just because he wants it on the stunt, right? He wants to say, ‘yeah, I don’t—I hate brown people as much as everybody else does, right? I’m in on this.’"
Figliuzzi repeated his point that while DeSantis' action may not qualify as human trafficking, it may still be a major legal gamble. Migrants, mostly from Central America, queue to board a van which will take them to a processing center, on May 16, 2019, in El Paso, Texa
