An American tradition (for good or ill) is reminding people who don’t want to be here that they can leave at any time.

The council voted 4-3 on Tuesday to allow the federal government to use the airport for ICE flights.

Trooper Anderson said the truck blocked traffic for a short period of time but they were able to drag it to the side of the road and quickly get the line moving.

Fire investigators are searching for the cause. No injuries were reported.

They want to hear what the community would like to see in the library so they urge people to bring lots of ideas.

The ordinance repealing the cruising law won't take effect until 30 days after the vote on August 5.

In the end the council voted in favor of setting up a future meeting with city lobbyists to talk about the concerns of Yakima residents and about immigration reform in general.

Future Voters who turn 18 on or before Tuesday, Aug. 6, can vote in the 2019 Primary, while those who turn 18 on or before Tuesday, Nov. 5, can vote in this year’s General Election.

The work starts at 7:00 a.m. and finish at 3:00 p.m.

The city has received some $19 million in federal funding for the airport since 2010.
The council meets at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Yakima City Hall.
