YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operation in Southern Louisiana is off to a relatively slow start, with efforts impeded by heavy rains and community activists who have been preparing for this.

Federal immigration authorities haven’t said how many arrests they’ve made since this operation started on Wednesday, but volunteer spotters say they haven’t seen that many. Rachel Taber, with a group that’s been teaching people strategies to avoid arrest and deportation, says people are mostly just staying inside, "because it’s very rare for these agents to actually have warrants that would enable them to enter a house. For all the narrative about this being about getting quote unquote 'criminals,' well, we haven’t seen a warrant yet."
