Migrant flights
Migrants have been flown from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas to San Diego for processing. Plans indicated at three flights per week with ~130 migrants or ~400 or so overall. There has also been some busing more locally to Laredo or to El Centro.
Stated reason is because of processing deadlines (20 days) and increased influx of children.
For example this story of migrants released in San Luis
As far as numbers go, if there are 4,500 migrants apprehended per day then sending 400 per week on planes and some more per buses isn’t a huge proportion. So expect there is also some political motive to generate stories like this one to fan flames of concern
This lets it be a local story in Florida that the senator can comment upon
Still recall similar (but larger scale) political effects from Cuban refugees detained in Fort Chaffee Arkansas. Spread some asylum seekers out and increase the odds of some incident.
