IS THE SENTENCING PHASE THAT IS SET TO BEGIN ON JANUARY 4TH AT ALL. JOE, THANK YOU.
>> THE NEWS 4 JAX I TEAM IS
DIGGING INTO CLAIMS THAT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS FLYING
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS INTO
JACKSONVILLE AND THE DARK OF
NIGHT AS THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION TRIES TO HANDLE
THE FLOOD OF PEOPLE CROSSING
INTO THE U.S. ALONG THE
SOUTHERN BORDER. TAKING A LIVE
LOOK AT THE AIRPORT.
CONGRESSMAN JOHN RUTHERFORD
TELLS US HE BELIEVES AROUND
7,000 UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS
HAVE COME THROUGH HERE OVER
THE PAST FEW MONTHS. NOW I
TEAM INVESTIGATOR VIC
MICOLUCCI IS PUTTING THESE
CLAIMS THROUGH THE TRUST
INDEX.
>> WE HEARD FROM MANY OF YOU
RUMORS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
COMING INTO JACKSONVILLE
OVERNIGHT. THOUSANDS OF THEM.
WE HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING AND
NOW THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
CONFIRMS THAT IS HAPPENING
HERE AS THEY DEAL WITH THE
CRISIS AT THE BORDER.
>> ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM
SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA
CONTINUE TO SURGE ACROSS THE
U.S. MEXICO BORDER AND THESE
PHOTOS SHOW A CHARTERED 7.37.
COMING FROM TEXAS LANDING LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT IN JACKSONVILLE
AIRPORT. POLICE THERE TO HELP
ESCORT THE MIGRANTS OFF THE
PLANE AND ONTO A BUS. LOCAL
PHOTOGRAPHER DAVID ROSENBLOOM
SHOT THESE IMAGES. SOME OF HIS
PICTURES IN AN ARTICLE IN THE
NEW YORK POST WHICH DETAILS
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT MOVING
MIGRANTS FROM THE SOUTHERN
BORDER TO SHELTERS ACROSS THE
U.S. MANY APPEAR TO BE
CHILDREN.
>> WE HAVEN’T RECEIVED ANY
THAT THE THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IS KEEPING
CONGRESS IN THE DARK ON THIS.
I THINK THEY KNOW THAT
AMERICANS WOULD BE OUTRAGED.
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN MICHAEL
WALTZ IS UPSET SAYING THIS IS
NOT THE WAY TO DEAL WITH THE
BORDER CRISIS WITH SUCH A
WIDESPREAD ISSUE LIKE THIS.
>> HOW DO YOU EVEN START TO
SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS?
>> WELL, I THINK YOU HAVE TO
REVERSE SOME OF THE POLICIES
THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS
PUT IN PLACE OR SOME THAT THEY
HAVE ELIMINATED JUST BECAUSE
THEY WERE DONE BY THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION. THEY WORKED.
SATURDAY’S FLIGHT WAS ON OF A
LOW AIRLINES WHICH DOESN’T
TYPICALLY FLY INTO JX.
>> THIS ONE CAME IN FROM
HOUSTON THEN HEADED TO
WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK.
BUT HISTORY SHOWS THE AIRLINE
HAS BEEN FLYING IN AND OUT OF
JACKSONVILLE INTERNATIONAL
SINCE AT LEAST AUGUST 13TH
FLIGHTS COMING FROM PLACES
LIKE BURBANK AND ONTARIO,
CALIFORNIA, AS WELL AS
HOUSTON, EL PASO, AUSTIN AND
MCALLEN, TEXAS. THE I TEAM
DISCOVERED RECORDS IS SHOWING
A TOTAL OF 21 OF A LOW FLIGHTS
HAVE LANDED HERE.
>> IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS, WHY
IS THE ADMINISTRATION’S LINE
THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS FROM THE
BORDER TO FLORIDA AND NEW YORK
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
>> WELL, I’M NOT SURE THAT
IT’S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
NIGHT. BUT LET ME TELL YOU
WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE DURING
TUESDAY’S BRIEFING. THE WHITE
HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
CONFIRMED THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IS FLYING
MIGRANT CHILDREN ACROSS THE
COUNTRY OR HERE WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT EARLY FLIGHTS EARLIER
THAN YOU MIGHT LIKE TO TAKE A
IT IS OUR LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY
TO SAFELY CARE FOR
UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN UNTIL
THEY SWIFTLY CAN BE SWIFTLY
UNIFIED WITH A PARENT OR A
VETTED SPONSOR. SHE SAYS THE
OFFICE OF REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT
COORDINATES TRAVEL FOR
CHILDREN IN AMERICAN CUSTODY.
>> BUT REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN
JOHN RUTHERFORD BELIEVES IT’S
BEEN DONE UNDER A VEIL OF
SECRECY. WE SAW ALL OF THOSE
PEOPLE IN DEL RIO, WOMEN UNDER
THE BRIDGE, THOUSANDS OF THEM.
WE JUST WANT, BUT THEY DIDN’T
JUST DISAPPEAR FROM DEL RIO.
THEY’RE NOW IN OUR COMMUNITIES
OUT HERE ALL OVER THE INTERIOR
OF THE COUNTRY.
>> RUTHERFORD TELLS US HE
PLANS TO DRAFT A BILL THAT
WOULD REQUIRE THE GOVERNMENT
TO DISCLOSE DETAILS ABOUT THE
MIGRANTS AND WHERE THEY’RE
HEADING. DAY X OFFICIALS HAD
NO COMMENT POINTING OUT IT’S A
PUBLIC USE AIRPORT AND THIS IS
A FEDERAL OPERATION.
>> SO WHILE WE DON’T HAVE THE
NUMBERS ABOUT HOW MANY OR THE
EXACT DETAILS HERE, WE HAVE
CONFIRMED THAT THE CLAIMS THAT
ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE BEING
BROUGHT INTO AND THROUGH
JACKSONVILLE DURING THE NIGHT
ARE TRUE. WE’LL KEEP WORKING
TO GET YOU MORE INFORMATION
