Friend,

ICE, Border Patrol, and other federal agents are escalating enforcement across Louisiana and our communities are paying the price. Parents are afraid to take their kids to school. I mean just this weekend, parents were detained by masked agents while en route to their child’s school Christmas program. Families are being separated with no answers and no transparency.

We want to share critical resources and updates, sourced directly from the Free the Swamp December 16 Communicators Memo [ [link removed] ], so you have the information you need to stay safe, stay informed, and support your neighbors.

🚨 If you see ICE or Border Patrol activity

Call the Rapid Response Hotline: (504) 221-1499

Know Your Rights

* Free the Swamp partners with LORICARES [ [link removed] ] to offer virtual Know Your Rights trainings.

* Sign up or request a session here. [ [link removed] ]

* Please share these trainings with community members who may need them.

Key updates you should know

* Border Patrol is reportedly leaving New Orleans temporarily and has been spotted in Baton Rouge.

* Local law enforcement agencies with 287(g) agreements (including Gretna PD, Kenner PD, and Louisiana State Police) may continue making immigration arrests.

* Even Republican Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser has spoken out [ [link removed] ], saying the operation is hurting Louisiana’s economy: hotels, restaurants, and construction sites are struggling because workers are afraid to show up.

* Officials report that only about 10% of those detained have criminal records. Families are being taken with no public information about where they’re held or what’s happening to them.

Ways to help on the ground:

These organizations are already doing the work and need volunteers, donations, and support:
