Federal agents have initiated significant immigration operations in New Orleans and Minneapolis as part of a broader crackdown by the Trump administration. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has launched Operation Catahoula Crunch, targeting immigrants in these cities. New Orleans, a city with a diverse immigrant community, is experiencing heightened tension as residents brace for the impacts of these enforcement actions. Protests have erupted, with demonstrators decrying the operations and expressing solidarity with affected individuals. Meanwhile, local authorities have expressed varying degrees of support and concern regarding the federal actions. Schools in East Baton Rouge have also updated their policies in anticipation of increased ICE activity statewide. This crackdown seeks to detain and deport individuals identified as violent offenders and unauthorized migrants, sparking significant public discourse on immigration policy and community safety.
