Trump administration plans major immigration operation in New Orleans
About 200 federal agents are expected to be deployed, as part of a wider initiative led by Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino. His teams have previously conducted aggressive operations in Democratic-led cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, and most recently Charlotte.
In the Charlotte region, dubbed “Charlotte’s Web” by the administration, more than 200 arrests were made in the past week, with the operation expected to conclude shortly, as stated by officials.
The raids have sparked protests and accusations of racial profiling and excessive force. Trump administration officials, however, maintain that arrests target suspected immigration violations and say agents have faced violence in some instances. Bovino has described the conduct of his teams as “exemplary.”
Internal documents indicate the Border Patrol requested armored vehicles and special operations teams for both Charlotte and New Orleans. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, a Republican ally of Trump, has expressed support for the enforcement measures.
