FOLEY – GULF SHORES: 08:51 AM Reports out of Baldwin County Alabama say ICE Deportation raided one local business this morning and took 12 immigrants into custody.
Reports are they made the supervisor remain inside until the workers arrived and arrested them.
They have seen all around the 2,027 square miles of Baldwin County, of which 1,590 square miles of land and 437 square miles of water. This is the largest county in the State of Alabama. The county is larger than Rhode Island, the county seat is in Bay Minette, and its largest city is Daphne. Baldwin County is known for its beaches, golf courses and recreational opportunities. The 2020 census population was 231,767.
Baldwin County was Alabama’s fastest growing county from 2010 to 2020, with 4 of the top 10 fastest growing cities in the state in recent years.
Employers who have hired immigrant workers and depend on them to work are scared of ICE units because they could face hefty fines. What does an employer do? When you can not find Americans to work and only immigrants to work, to make money, what do you do?
Some have said they want to look at Trump’s businesses and see what his employees look like. The sources say on confidential basis, YES, we agree with violent immigrants being deported, but their workforce has not been violent.
The deportations are having drastic effects on private business… how to do they make money when a lot of Americans do not want to work???

WIREGRASS: 07:47 AM NO COURT today, Thursday, January 23, 2025.
Make sure your address is correct with Clerk of Court if cases are at a courthouse and with Muncipal Court if court at a municipality. The number one way to get into court trouble is your address is not kept current with that office. They will mail notices to the address on file. Then, make sure you check the mail. Keep the postmarked envelope also. Mail service is slow, so if you receive notice after court date you will have postmarked envelope to show.
Dothan Fire was just responding to a medical call and reported the 6200 block of Fortner Street is closed. So roads are still closed. Reports are roads are slippery. So stay off the roads.
