Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentHank, I'm standing on a quiet block in Washington, and behind me you can see the spot where the agents' vehicles were parked this afternoon.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe street is calm now, and my socks are not.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI spoke with a neighbor who says the only thing she noticed was how many cars were blocking her driveway. Ma'am, what did you see?
Marguerite SlocumThree vans, and one of them was parked over my recycling. I'm not saying it's connected to the investigation, but I want my bins back.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYour bins.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThat's the on-the-ground detail, Hank. The investigation centers on her immigration paperwork, and no charges have been announced.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentIf the desk ever needs someone who notices bins, I'm available.
