TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Newly released records from Gov. Ron DeSantis confirmed that his public safety czar, Larry Keefe, communicated with a Destin-based contractor hired to fly migrants from Texas to Massachusetts using a private email account with the call name “Clarice Starling.”
They also confirmed that he used an encryption app to chat with James Montgomerie of Vertol Systems, the military contractor the state has paid nearly $3.5 million to relocate migrants to so-called “sanctuary states” under a program administered by the Florida Department of Transportation but overseen by Keefe.
Based on these new findings, the Florida Center for Government Accountability has filed a motion in its ongoing suit against FDOT asking to submit the new emails as evidence that not all the documents requested were released and that Montgomerie provided false evidence at trial.
