U.S. Launches Targeted Immigration Operation in New Orleans

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has initiated a new immigration enforcement operation in New Orleans, Louisiana. The action, named "Operation Catahoula Crunch," aims to increase arrests and deportations of unauthorized immigrants in the area. Authorities did not immediately release specific details on the scale or duration of the operation. Such actions typically involve increased checks by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. The launch follows the administration's repeated emphasis on stricter immigration enforcement. Local community groups often express concern that such operations cause fear and can separate families. CBS News correspondent Kati Weiss is following the story for further developments.
