The Spin

Enforcing immigration law protects Americans from criminals, notit oppressesdoesn't oppress them. Operation Catahoula Crunch targetsis targeting the worst criminals after Democratic sanctuary politicians ignored the rule of law. If illegal immigrants are scared, that's what these types of operations are meant for. Law and order will prevail in New Orleans.

ThisThe Operation Catahoula Crunch deployment is nothing but a political stunt, not a way to bring about better public safety. Militarized forces with no local training or coordination are creating fear and chaos in New Orleans communities. Dropping armed federal agents into the city without transparency terrorizes families and undermines trust.
