State orders Day Labor Center closed in Laguna Beach

July 5, 2006 in Border Security, Illegal Immigration

LAGUNA BEACH – A longstanding day-labor center on Laguna Canyon Road has been ordered closed by Caltrans after an anti-illegal-immigration activist discovered the site was on state land without proper permits.

The Laguna Beach City Council responded that it will determine its strategy for dealing with the order at its next meeting, according to Caltrans spokeswoman Pam Gorniak. That meeting is July 11.

Gorniak said research had not yet been done to determine whether a permit could be issued to the center, allowing it to continue.

What entity can issue a permit to violate federal law? Is it possible to arrest the managers of the day-labor center on conspiracy charges? They are after all aiding and abetting criminal activity.

Minuteman member Eileen Garcia did the research determining that the site did not have necessary permits and presented the information to the California Department of Transportation on Wednesday.

Caltrans gave the city a notice on Thursday to remove the center “as soon as possible.” It remains unclear if the center will continue operating until the next council meeting.
