Recent records detail widespread online monitoring and arrests in New Orleans as part of a significant immigration crackdown initiated by the Trump administration. This operation aims for a staggering 5,000 arrests, prompting fears and protests from local residents, particularly in Hispanic neighborhoods. Community leaders and religious institutions, such as the Diocese of Baton Rouge, have responded by granting dispensations for affected parishioners. Protests have erupted throughout the area, with demonstrators calling for an end to federal immigration enforcement and expressing concerns over racial profiling and community safety. As federal agents flood the city, many immigrants reportedly go into hiding, sparking anger and demands for transparency from local officials.
