SACRAMENTO—Nearly three dozen South Americans picked up in El Paso, Texas, and flown by private jet on two charter flights over the last week to California—at the request of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis—are being shielded from reporters by local religious and charity groups, with no sign of their whereabouts since they were dropped off at the Catholic Diocese in Sacramento near the state Capitol.

“Everyone was taken away so fast that if it wasn’t for the news, we wouldn’t have known they were here,” Maria Gonzalez, a local store clerk, told The Epoch Times. “But a lot of people are wondering if more buses and planes will be coming.”
