Trump Administration's Immigration Crackdown Continues in Louisiana

The Trump administration's immigration crackdown continues in Louisiana, particularly in New Orleans, with over 250 arrests reported in a recent operation named Catahoula Crunch. According to The Hill, the Department of Homeland Security plans to shift its immigration enforcement tactics, moving away from large-scale raids.

However, the New Orleans operation will persist, with DHS aiming for a total of 5,000 arrests. This ongoing enforcement action raises significant concerns around civil rights and community relations, as many undocumented immigrants feel increasingly unsafe.

The crackdown comes amid declining approval ratings for Trump's immigration policies, with a PRRI survey indicating his approval dropped from 42% to 33% since March. The negative polling is prompting a reevaluation of immigration tactics, although the New Orleans operation will remain unaffected by these changes, illustrating the administration's continued focus on strict immigration enforcement despite public backlash and protests against such actions.
