Immigration operation coming to New Orleans and Louisiana
Border officers are expected to launch an immigration operation today in southeast Louisiana and into Mississippi.
The operation is dubbed “Swamp Sweep.” The Los Angeles Times describes the operation as "aim[ing] to arrest 5,000 people[,] is centered in liberal New Orleans and is the latest federal immigration enforcement operation to target a Democratic-run city as President Trump's administration pursues its mass deportation agenda."
Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, who has led operations in Chicago, Los Angeles and North Carolina is expected to lead the campaign.
The Los Angeles Times offers background on the Louisiana operation.
