examples are not exclusive by my reading...so Abbott and DeSantis, in addition to the reported "coercion" they exerted to make those people take the bus and plane rides, forced them to do their political bidding as unwilling actors in a scheme to embarrass Democrats...given that those people were only sent to Democratic majority locations, and none to GOP strongholds, that's not a hard to connect string of dots...wouldn't you say?...and all for the purpose of improving their political stock with their base of voters...which leads to more money for them and attendant political power.
Yeah, they "Trafficked" those Asylum Seekers for financial and political gain.
