📰 News we're reading

• Border Patrol agents arrest at least 3 at Slidell construction site (wwltv.com) — Border Patrol agents detained at least three men at a Slidell construction site Saturday, using a St. Tammany Fire District No. 1 ladder truck to bring them down from a rooftop. The incident at Lakeshore Condominiums has raised questions about what legal standards apply at open construction sites and how much, if any, local agencies are involved in federal immigration operations.
