Illegal alien raid… no bull!

16 April 2008

Plaza de Toros Mexico was raided yesterday morning by twenty bank and industrial police officers yesterday and the joint was temporarily closed. The reason?… illegal alien bulls.

Promotores Taurinos y Asociados had run afoul of District regulations back in December of last year but was operating the bullring under an amparo, a temporary restraining order. Article 47 of the “Reglamento para la Celebración de Espectáculos Públicos del Distrito Federal” states that at least half the bulls in any bullfight have to be Mexican bred.

Somehow I don’t think the illegal alien bulls will be getting on a plane any time soon. They won’t be facing a deportation order, but they may be part of your next order of tacos.
