So I am getting a haircut this morning and the conversation ends up around the construction going on downtown-NEW Federal courts building and a Fine Arts center including a refurbished Carpenter Center.
Turns out they had a BIG immigration raid there last week. Well at the Federal Courts Building anyway. The guy who owns the barbershop tells me that the "Mexicans" came screaming around the corner in full out sprint all over the place. Quite a sight to see.
So two key points here
First- this new Federal Courts building (will be the site of future terrorist trials they say) was a FEDERAL contruction site. I don't know if it came out of the DoJ budget or GSA or what but basically ICE, the Feds, busted their own, the Feds, construction site. :eyes:
Second- IT WAS BASICALLY FINISHED ANYWAY. I mention that I had happened to have been by there two weeks ago and saw that they had the trees delivered and ready to be planted. The barbershop guy agreed, basically all that is left to do is some landscaping.
Woohoo!! they had themselves a raid on their own project and AFTER it was 99% finished.
Now THAT'S government inaction!!!!
SHORT local story on it
