New Orleans latest target for immigration crackdown, DHS announces


The Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday that New Orleans will be the next city swept for criminal illegal immigrants — following similar crackdowns in Los Angeles, Chicago and Charlotte.

The announcement of “Operation Catahoula Crunch” comes one day after the New York Times reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will launch a separate operation targeting Somali illegal immigrants residing in Minnesota’s Twin Cities.

“Sanctuary policies endanger American communities by releasing illegal criminal aliens and forcing DHS law enforcement to risk their lives to remove criminal illegal aliens that should have never been put back on the streets,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

“It is asinine that these monsters were released back onto New Orleans streets to COMMIT MORE CRIMES and create more victims. Catahoula Crunch targets include violent criminals who were released after arrest for home invasion, armed robbery, grand theft auto, and rape. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are restoring law and order for the American people.”

Wednesday’s announcement was accompanied by a roster of 10 illegal migrants wanted for crimes including aggravated assault, burglary, child endangerment, and sexual battery.

The alleged offenders hail from countries including El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jordan Mexico, and Vietnam.
