Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis admitted orchestrating two controversial recent migrant flights from Texas to California on Tuesday.

The State of Florida released video of asylum seekers who had recently crossed the border being recruited in El Paso and send to the sunshine state via Townhall.com.

The Venezuelan and Colombian migrants were first driven to New Mexico then places on private planes to the California state capital Sacramento — with a the first flight leaving June 2 and a second arriving Monday.

The footage shows migrants signing what appears to be legal waivers. Then, they can be seen dancing to music on a party bus. Later they’re on a tarmac, walking onto the plane with blue Destin, Florida tote bags.

At one point, a woman asks the migrants in Spanish, “Did any of you ever feel that you were treated badly?”

In unison, the migrants answer, “No” in the recording.

Alecia Collins, a spokeswoman for the Florida Division of Emergency Management, said the migrants had all volunteered, given “verbal and written consent,” and “wanted to go to California.”

DeSantis ordered the video released as questions swirled about where migrants had come from and who had arranged the flights.

California Governor Gavin Newsom threatened DeSantis with criminal charges Monday in relation to the flights.

“Penniless and gullible migrants in El Paso, Texas were allegedly conned into getting on planes– promised jobs in the destination of their choice, but were instead dumped in front of a Sacramento church,” west coast officials claimed.

The Democratic governor and potential presidential hopeful — who could in theory end up battling DeSantis for the White House — included a screenshot of state criminal code in his post saying any person who “takes by fraud or force” another and brings them into the state is guilty of kidnap.

Both flights were operated by the Florida Division of Emergency Management, according to paperwork carried by the migrants, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The Republican governor was previously credited for orchestrating flights from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard last September — saying so called “sanctuary cities” need to share in the burden of caring for migrants, as well as states along the southern border.

While not the governor of a state which has a land border with Mexico, DeSantis has inserted himself into the migrant crisis and volunteered some Florida law enforcement officers to head to the Texas border last month.

Monday, the San Antonio Sheriff — where the Martha’s Vineyards flights originated — announced charges had been recommended to the District Attorney’s office in connection with the transport, but did not reveal against who.

“The charge filed is unlawful restraint and several accounts were filed, both misdemeanor and felony. 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,” the sheriff said in a statement, KSAT reported.

Meanwhile, officials in El Paso confirmed they were not involved in the most recent “stunt” to move migrants away from the border.

“We would never use individuals in a political stunt, or transport anyone where they didn’t want to go,” Mayor Oscar Leeser told The Post.

“If the reports are correct, we would encourage those that engaged in this practice in our city to cease doing so, and to treat each person as every human being deserves, with dignity and respect.”
