“When food prices go up because farm workers go missing, that’s the ICE Tax. When construction grinds to a halt because no one is left to build homes, that’s the ICE Tax. When our elders can’t get the care they deserve because their caretakers and nurses are gone, that’s the ICE Tax.” #EndtheICETax

After getting conflicting answers, Rep. Beatty's attys are seeking an emergency hearing to clarify why & for how long Kennedy Center has been closed. Gates going up. Odd detail: "I saw the forklift run into and hit the pillars on the bldg several times." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I walked around to both the north and south sides of the building and saw that the
gates wrapped all around there, too, and blocked all the staircases leading to the building.
18. I also saw that there were four gates blocking the main walkway to the building.
19. I saw that the door under the scaffolding on the east side of the building was open,
but it appeared that workers were waiting for more gates to arrive to close it. Later, I saw that they
closed off that gap with gates.
20. While I was standing outside the gates, I saw forklifts bringing more gates to the
front of the building. These gates were white and orange and looked like those used on construction
sites.Afterward, I saw a forklift carrying what appeared to be a more permanent form of
fencing drive over to the north side of the building. I saw the forklift run into and hit the pillars on
the building several times.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
