Tensions are climbing across the New Orleans area as Mayor-elect Helena Moreno publicly challenges the Trump administration over its secrecy surrounding “Operation Catahoula Crunch,” a sweeping Border Patrol crackdown now in its third day. Moreno is demanding transparency on arrests, identification of agents, and legal justifications for detentions—while Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill warns local police leaders about limits on cooperation with federal agents.

Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino has refused to release key details, even as masked agents are seen detaining residents across the region. Reports are mounting of legal residents, work-permit holders, and even U.S. citizens being stopped or detained, echoing similar sweeps in Chicago and North Carolina. The operation has triggered a political firestorm, civil rights concerns, and growing calls for accountability as communities scramble for information.
