The Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security is deploying roughly 250 Border Patrol agents to Louisiana and Mississippi for a major operation dubbed “Swamp Sweep,” an enforcement push that officials say aims to arrest around 5,000 people in southeastern Louisiana and parts of Mississippi. Reports show the operation is scheduled to begin in earnest on Dec. 1, 2025, and will be concentrated around New Orleans, Baton Rouge and surrounding parishes — exactly the kind of decisive action sensible Americans have been demanding for years.
Staging for the deployment is set to start in New Orleans with agents expected to disperse throughout neighborhoods and commercial centers, touching Jefferson, St. Bernard and St. Tammany parishes and reaching as far north as Baton Rouge. The scale and geography of the plan make clear this is not a token show of force but a sustained, targeted effort to remove dangerous criminal illegal aliens who prey on communities.
Governor Jeff Landry, a Republican who campaigned on restoring law and order, has openly worked with federal partners and praised coordination that puts public safety first, saying Louisiana is cooperating with the federal sweep to crack down on criminal illegal aliens. That partnership between state leadership and federal enforcement is exactly the kind of backbone this country needs when career politicians in blue cities refuse to do their jobs.
Let’s be blunt: taking criminals off the street shouldn’t be controversial. Hardworking Louisianans — small-business owners, teachers, and moms — don’t need political theater, they need safety, order, and respect for the rule of law. If liberals and sanctuary-city officials want to play politics with crime, they should expect pushback from governors and federal agents who actually answer to the public’s call for security.
Predictably, progressive officials in New Orleans who have long resisted federal enforcement are already bracing for a showdown, which only proves the point: when local leaders refuse to protect citizens, the federal government must step in. The truth is simple — local politics should not be a sanctuary for lawlessness, and governors like Landry who side with victims and law enforcement deserve credit, not condemnation.
This deployment is also part of a broader, nationwide push by the Trump administration to restore immigration enforcement in cities where mayors have allowed criminal alien activity to flourish — operations that have already touched Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte and will reportedly expand further. If sworn enemies of public safety in blue cities continue to obstruct, expect more federal action until Americans can walk their streets without fear.
Patriots should support this sweep and the leaders who make hard choices to protect our neighborhoods. Governor Landry and federal agents are doing the job too many career politicians refuse: putting safety over woke politics and delivering results for the people who actually pay the bills. Why would anyone be upset with taking criminals off the street? Law-abiding Americans know the answer — they want order, they want accountability, and they want leaders who will act.
