Operation Swamp Sweep

Federal immigration teams in New Orleans this week arrested dozens of criminal aliens accused of violent and predatory crimes, including rapists, thieves, human smugglers, domestic abusers, and child endangerers. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials said the operation was part of a nationwide push to dismantle sanctuary protections and remove “the worst of the worst” from American communities, underscoring President Trump’s directive to prioritize public safety in deportation efforts.

FBI agents and Louisiana State Police have launched a joint effort to safeguard federal immigration officers during enhanced enforcement operations in New Orleans. The partnership, announced Wednesday, aims to deter a surge in assaults on Border Patrol and ICE agents, with officials warning that any interference will bring swift and severe consequences.
