LaSalle Street Drainage Project Completed in San Marco to Alleviate Flooding

LaSalle Street Drainage Project Completed in San Marco to Alleviate Flooding

City officials in Jacksonville, Florida, have announced the completion and operational status of the LaSalle Street Drainage Improvement Project in the San Marco neighborhood. This initiative introduces a new stormwater pump station capable of moving up to 60,000 gallons of water per minute and includes upgrades to nearly a mile of the surrounding stormwater collection system. The project aims to significantly reduce flooding in an area that has historically experienced repeated inundations during heavy rainfall, leading to stalled vehicles and water reaching businesses. The improvements are specifically designed to mitigate flooding during a 50-year, 24-hour rainfall event and accelerate the recession of floodwaters during severe tropical weather. The broader project, an estimated $64 million effort, received $44 million from the city and an additional $20 million through state grants.

The legislation was introduced in a previous session but did not advance, prompting renewed advocacy.

Refugees Face Deportation Risk Despite Status Following Criminal Convictions

Refugees Face Deportation Risk Despite Status Following Criminal Convictions

Refugees admitted to the United States can be deported, or 'removed' as per the official legal term, if they are convicted of a qualifying crime, even though their refugee status itself is not revoked by the conviction. U.S. immigration law, specifically INA § 237, applies deportability grounds to any noncitizen who has been admitted, including refugees. While refugee status is granted to individuals fleeing persecution and is generally protected unless obtained through fraud, a criminal conviction can trigger removal proceedings. The process for removal and the maintenance of refugee status operate on two separate tracks. Many refugees are unaware that they are required to apply for a green card one year after admission, and failure to do so can make them more vulnerable to removal if they commit a crime, as they may be placed directly into removal proceedings without their refugee status being terminated first.
