As part of Operation Swamp Sweep, the two-month immigration enforcement operation that’s getting underway in New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana, the Department of Homeland Security is launching what it calls Operation Catahoula Crunch. This operation is targeting specific undocumented aliens with violent crime arrests who had been released by police departments who it says have refused to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Once arrested, those people could be sent to the newly refurbished Camp J at the State Penitentiary in Angola, which Governor Landry said would be used specifically for these people.
“This facility is fulfilling the President’s promise of making America safe again. By giving ICE a facility to consolidate the most violent offenders into a single deportation and holding facility,” Landry said.
When Landry announced the so-called “Louisiana Lockup” on September 3rd, he stressed that it would be used to house what he called the “worst-of-the-worst” criminal undocumented aliens.
“Gang members, rapists, drug dealers, human smugglers that have no place in this country,” Landry said.
Landry says Louisiana Lockup will help secure America.
“The idea is to prevent those worst-of-the-worst criminal illegal aliens from continuing their criminal activities, inside a criminal civil population,” Landry explained.
