NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A construction worker hurt in last month’s collapse of the Hard Rock Hotel construction site in New Orleans was deported to his native Honduras on Friday. Cox countered that any such claims “are patently false and irresponsible.”ASSOCIATED PRESS A construction worker hurt in last month's collapse of the hotel construction site has been deported to his native Honduras. Ramirez Palma had been fighting a deportation order since 2016, and had lost an appeal. The veteran construction worker’s wife, Tania Bueso, has said he complained that the concrete floors were sagging, forcing him to double and triple-check measurements in the imbalanced building. A lawsuit filed after the collapse by Ramirez Palma and four other injured workers says the project’s developers and construction firms used inadequate materials and supports.
