SUMMARY: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in collaboration with U.S. Border Patrol and the Drug Enforcement Administration, conducted a worksite enforcement operation at Gulf Coast Prestress Partners in Pass Christian, Mississippi. During the operation, 18 individuals from Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras were apprehended after fleeing. Two individuals with work authorization were released, while a 16-year-old juvenile Mexican national was placed in custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. ICE’s strategy emphasizes compliance with employment laws, targeting illegal employment practices, and addressing associated criminal activities, including smuggling, human trafficking, and worker exploitation.

SUMMARY: The Senate approved a tax cut plan that reduces state income tax and grocery sales tax, while slightly increasing the gasoline tax, passing 34-15 with some bipartisan support. The net tax cut is $326 million, less than the House’s $1.1 billion proposal aimed at eliminating the income tax over a decade. The Senate plan lowers income tax from 4% to 2.99% and grocery tax from 7% to 5% by July 2025, while raising the gas tax by 3 cents yearly for infrastructure funding. Negotiations between the GOP-majority Senate and House will determine a final compromise before the March 31 deadline.
