ICE Shipyard Raid Nabs 25 Illegal Immigrants

Published Nov 5, 2025 10:53 PM by The Maritime Executive

 

Immigration officers carried out a raid on a shipyard in Louisiana last week and came away with more than two dozen suspected illegal immigrants who were working for a welding contractor, according to ICE Homeland Security Investigations.

 

The raid occurred at an unnamed yard in Harvey, Louisiana, but the individuals in question were employed by Belle Chasse-based contractor Barrois Welding Services. ICE had specific intelligence about the workplace, HSI said: one Barrois Welding Services employee had been arrested in March for immigration violations, leading to further inquiries about the employer.

 

HSI New Orleans Agents subpoenaed the owner of Barrois Welding Services and requested documentation about everyone on payroll, including IDs and Form I-9s. According to HSI, the business owner did not comply, despite repeated requests. (HSI emphasized that it tries to work with business owners to help them improve compliance, and businesses can avoid any fines for mistakes if they sign up for assistance and allow ICE to audit their employee eligibility files.)

 

On October 30, seven months after the start of the inquiry, HSI New Orleans agents carried out a raid at the worksite. They found 25 illegal aliens on scene, all from Honduras. Among them, some had prior criminal histories, including discharge of a firearm within city limits, prior illegal entry charges, and giving false information to an officer, ICE said.

 

HSI's New Orleans office is still looking into whether any criminal violations occurred.

 

"This operation demonstrates our commitment to enforcing immigration laws and holding employers accountable. We will continue to investigate and take action against those who fail to comply with the law," said HSI New Orleans Deputy Special Agent in Charge Matt Wright.

 

According to a recent investigation by ProPublica, undocumented immigrant laborers have been making inroads in the subcontractor segment that provides some shipyards with workers. These services are in demand because of industry workforce shortages in the post-COVID era, as seen in other industries; in recent years, accidents involving undocumented labor at smaller U.S. yards have occasionally attracted the attention of health and safety regulators.

One dead after Southwest jet blows an engine, is forced to land at Philly

One passenger is dead after a Southwest Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Philadelphia Tuesday morning.

ByAlexandra Villarreal and David Koenig, Associated PressApril 17, 2018

 

A Southwest Airlines jet blew an engine at 32,000 feet and was hit by shrapnel that smashed a window, setting off a desperate scramble by passengers to save a woman from getting sucked out of the plane. She later died, and seven others were injured.

 

Passengers dragged the woman back in as the sudden decompression of the cabin pulled her partially through the opening, but she was gravely injured.

 

The pilot of the plane, a twin-engine Boeing 737 bound from New York to Dallas with 149 people aboard, took it into a rapid descent and made an emergency landing in Philadelphia as passengers using oxygen masks that dropped from the ceiling prayed and braced for impact.

Still a bunch out there trying to sell the Green Scam

 

Orsted Still Sees a Strong Future for Offshore Wind in Europe

Published Nov 5, 2025 11:36 PM by The Maritime Executive

 

Western offshore wind leader Orsted sees signs of hope in the European market, despite near-term headwinds in the global market, executives said in a third-quarter earnings call on Wednesday.

 

"We remain very bullish about the prospects for offshore wind in Europe, in particular. We see the rebasing happening in the market," said Rasmus Errboe, Group President and CEO. "We will be patient, and we will prioritize value over volume."

 

Errboe highlighted three potential business areas for growth in Europe: maturing Orsted's existing pipeline of project options; partnerships and M&A for specific projects; and competing in centralized tenders. "2026 is probably going to be a bit on the low side in terms of numbers of tenders that are being put out there. But then from 2027 onwards it would take a bit of a step change," he said, highlighting expected leasing activity in the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany.

 

Equinor swung to a loss of $260 million in the third quarter, including impairment charges of about $175 million - a better result than analysts had expected, but a clear setback compared with last year's performance. Regulatory setbacks in the United States (including the stop-work order on Revolution Wind) and high American tariffs are among the firm's challenges.

 

To adapt to global challenges for offshore wind, Orsted's leaders have embarked on a muscular strategy to stabilize finances: since May, the firm has announced plans to lay off 2,000 employees; raised $9 billion in a heavily discounted rights issue; canceled the costly Hornsea 4 project; and sold half of its giant Hornsea 3 project for $6 billion to Apollo Global Management. The latter move is expected to raise enough cash to stave off a possible credit downgrade; one further drop from S&P could prompt some institutional investors to sell the company's bonds.

 

Many market analysts have speculated that a tie-up between Orsted and Norwegian state energy firm Equinor's offshore wind division would produce synergies and reduce competition, giving Orsted a leg up. For Equinor, divesting its renewables division would allow it to refocus on its core oil and gas business after a bruising experience with offshore wind in the United States. However, Errboe firmly ruled out the possibility.

 

"That is not in our plans," Errboe said. "Our focus, my focus, is to deliver on our plans, on our strategy, quarter by quarter."

China, Iran, the Houthis, and many others would love those bases to close

>NOT OUR PROBLEM!

Yes, they are

Besides the complaints form Europe about America always showing up late for wars those bases close and a lot of shitheads will get real bold (actually expansionist) with a quickness

The bases stay
