NOLA: Injured Hard Rock Hotel worker held by immigration authorities after speaking to media, attorneys say
One of the workers injured in the deadly collapse Oct. 12 of the unfinished Hard Rock Hotel in New Orleans has been detained for deportation by immigration authorities.
Border patrol claims this Honduran man was detained for fishing without a license, but the timing sure is curious.
PEOPLE: ICE arrested an undocumented construction worker hurt in the New Orleans @HardRock hotel collapse. Needs surgery & can't get needed medical care in ICE detention. Arrested after he sued & spoke out about the horrific work conditions that led to the collapse. https://t.co/kniqDvCovZ
