New Orleans and state officials are preparing for the expected arrival of U.S. Border Patrol agents as the Trump administration expands its immigration crackdown in the South, but information remains sparse.
No public official at the state or federal level has confirmed reports that hundreds of agents are headed to the New Orleans area in early December.
The office of Gov. Jeff Landry, a Republican who supports Trump’s mass deportation agenda, did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Attorney General Liz Murrill’s office referred The Center Square to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, who said they “do not discuss current or future operations.”
