Neighbors react to condemning of Washington City residence
WASHINGTON CITY, Utah (ABC4) — Neighbors in Washington City are still a little stirred up after the city condemned a home with 27 people in it due to unsafe living conditions.
Around 4:30 a.m. yesterday, Washington City Police along with the U.S. Marshalls Office, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations, cleared a home in the area of 100 West 200 South. In addition to unsafe conditions, investigators also found fraudulent documents and illegal narcotics.
Police arrested four people for the possession of drugs and fake ID's, while others in the house were arrested by I.C.E. due to their immigrations. One neighbor says the operation to clear the property could have been handled better.

'They could've easily handled this more discreetly without I.C.E. agents and police agents busting down the house at four in the morning,' neighbor Jordan Christensen said. 'They also could've waited for the kids to go to school.'
Police say they did find three children under age 12 living in the home as well. The city is still deciding what to do with the house.
