Sanctuary Information
December 2025
In December 2025, DHS announced Operation “Catahoula Crunch,” a major CBP deployment in the greater New Orleans area. In the first week of the operation, DHS announced more than 250 arrests. This operation was characterized by its frenetic pace and violent tactics including CBP agents going door to door, cornering residents on rooftops, and violently pulling people out of vehicles. This deployment is notable because Louisiana is not a state with any type of sanctuary or noncooperation policy.
There was no National Guard deployment accompanying this immigration enforcement operation.
