GULF SHORES Ala. An immigration raid at the new publicly funded Gulf Shores High School netted authorities 37 arrests and some dramatic moments and several of the illegal immigrants tried to flee from a rooftop.
As federal agents and Baldwin County law enforcement moved in, more than a dozen people tried fleeing in different directions including sliding down a rope from a roof.
Law enforcement put a drone up to keep an eye on where people were fleeing to, and used a lift to get on top of the roof.
The raid at the new High School construction site on the Foley Beach Express caught many by surprise.
One man who asked not to be identified asked the question that many others are now asking.
How could these illegal migrants be working out in the open on a city building project funded with the public’s money?
The City of Gulf Shores is pointing fingers at the general contractor of the construction project who has also had other construction sites raided by law enforcement.
Rabren General Contractors did not want to comment.
Though many immigration raids have been conducted at construction sites in Baldwin and Mobile Counties, this is the first one that involved a publicly funded project. The project is expected to cost $137- million dollars.
Later in the day, the City of Gulf Shores and Gulf Shores City Schools sent the following joint statement to the media:
The City of Gulf Shores and Gulf Shores City Schools are aware that a “federal immigration inspection” was conducted at the construction site of the new Gulf Shores High School. The construction site is under the complete control of the general contractor, and no city or school employees were present at the time of the inspection.
For any further information regarding this inspection, we encourage inquiries to be directed to the involved parties.
