Worker who survived New Orleans hotel collapse deported

NEW ORLEANS — A construction worker hurt in last month’s collapse of the Hard Rock Hotel construction site in New Orleans has been deported to his native Honduras.

The U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement deported 38-year-old Delmer Joel Ramirez Palma on Friday morning. ICE spokesman Bryan Cox says Ramirez Palma was taken to Honduras on a deportation flight from Alexandria International Airport, which is near several ICE detention facilities in central Louisiana.

Border Patrol officers arrested Ramirez Palma two days after he fell several stories Oct. 12 as the upper floors of the hotel project caved in.

Ramirez’s deportation comes despite calls from immigration and workplace safety advocates to release him while federal authorities investigate the cause of the collapse, which killed three workers and left dozens more injured.

Worker injured in Hard Rock Hotel collapse in New Orleans to be deported

Thank you ICE!

Now go after the person who employed him, fine that SOB, and put in jail for at least 90 days!

Absolutely hold the employer accountable ! Wealthy homebuilders are majorly complicit in the making of the illegal alien crisis in this country. Formerly hiring American subcontractors, they now prefer to hire illegal aliens who work with fraudulent social security numbers and are classified as "independent contractors" to avoid paying taxes. Job loss and wage depression in the construction industry for the American citizen has come with the full blessing of the homebuilders' associations.
