ENSENADA, B.C. -- Federal police on Monday evicted some 200 U.S. retirees from a multimillion- dollar beachfront resort in northwestern Mexico following a Supreme Court ruling that changes the ownership of the land.
Some 250 armed officers took part in the raid on the Baja Beach & Tennis Club in Ensenada, Baja California.
"They are going from house to house," Baja California Homeowners Association vice president Leigh Zaremba told Reuters. "We've been given five hours to get out of our houses before they are sealed."
U.S. retirees own about 90 percent of the homes at the Baja Beach and Tennis Club. They paid local farmers and a private developer, Koster S.A., between 500,000 dollars and 1 million dollars for each of the villas.
The resort property comprises a hotel, 18 cabins and 23 houses and is valued at about 48 million dollars.
