SUMMARY: Federal agents raided the Gulf Shores High School construction site last week, arresting about three dozen undocumented workers. Gulf Shores Mayor Robert Craft stated the city was not involved in or targeted by the raid and supports enforcing immigration laws. Construction, managed by the contractor, resumed immediately after a brief shutdown and remains ahead of schedule. Despite concerns about work quality raised after the raid, the mayor dismissed them as speculative. The \$131 million school is still on track to open in Fall 2026. Similar immigration operations have occurred across the Gulf Coast, targeting undocumented workers, some linked to criminal activities.
