According to a statement provided to the Miami Herald, the Bexar County sheriff completed its criminal investigation into the on-the-ground operation that allegedly lured migrants onto the flights with false promises of jobs and opportunities on the other end.
“The case filed includes both felony and misdemeanor charges of Unlawful Restraint,” according to the statement. “At this time, the case is being reviewed by the DA’s office. Once an update is available, it will be provided to the public.”

He's also now being investigated in CA for kidnapping in the recent case of him flying 2 planes of migrants to Sacramento in similar fashion.

Yet DeSantis's assholeishness (criminal or not) doesn't appear to have dissuaded Repubs from supporting him.
