En Luisiana, nuevos vídeos muestran cómo los agentes federales amplían su ofensiva contra la inmigración, denominada "Catahoula Crunch", a las afueras de Nueva Orleans.

Louisiana

Federal agents have expanded the 'Catahoula Crunch' immigration enforcement operation beyond New Orleans into suburbs and as far as Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Recent videos depict agents detaining individuals in Kenner and at a Baton Rouge construction site, with some detainees' families expressing frustration over not receiving information about their loved ones' locations or how to contact them.

Community activists and relatives have raised concerns about the lack of transparency during these detentions, as agents reportedly did not provide warrants or details about where detainees were being taken. The operation has prompted calls for clearer communication between authorities and affected families.

La operación de inmigración "Catahoula Crunch" se amplía fuera de Nueva Orleans

A Louisiana ahora, donde ahora estamos viendo nuevo video de agentes federales expansión de una inmigración que los federales llaman Catahoula Crunch. Esto es justo a las afueras de Nueva Orleans. Vamos en directo con la reportera nacional de CBS News Katie Weiss, que está en Nueva Orleans. Katie, ¿dónde más la gente está viendo esta operación? Claro. Bueno, estamos empezando a ver esta operación más allá de los límites de la Big Easy en los suburbios fuera de Nueva Orleans y mucho más allá de un un par de horas de distancia en Baton Rouge. En primer lugar, vamos a mostrar un video de un hombre en Kenner, Louisiana, a unos 20 minutos de aquí en Nueva Orleans, donde fue detenido el jueves. Su familia grabó este video. Ellos me dicen que primero notó SUVs sin marcar siguiéndolo mientras conducía hacia el banco. Llamó a su familia para decirle que había notado este sospechoso y decidió que sería mejor volver a casa. La familia le dijo que sí, que volviera a casa. Tendremos las puertas abiertas esperándote. Estaremos aquí. Y tan pronto como se detuvo en frente de su casa justo ahí en el camino de entrada de su casa, inmediatamente otro SUV se detiene al lado junto a él. Los agentes se bajan, le sacan del vehículo y le esposan inmediatamente. Se puede ver en el video como su familia, sus hijas lloran a los agentes diciendo, ¿Por qué se lo llevan? ¿Tienen una orden? ¿Por qué se lo llevan? Y también están preguntándole, ¿a dónde se lo llevan? Y los agentes no respondieron, no proporcionaron ninguna información sobre a dónde iría. Y la familia del hombre me dice que sólo desean que tuvieran una forma de poder contactar con él. Y eso es algo que estamos escuchando de muchos activistas de la comunidad es que no están recibiendo información a menudo cuando estos incidentes de arrestos en cuanto a dónde van estas personas y cómo los miembros de la familia, seres queridos pueden permanecer en contacto con ellos mientras permanecen en un centro de detención. Mientras tanto, la familia del hombre describe a esta persona como un hombre cariñoso que cada vez que le preguntan cómo está casi siempre responde mejor que ayer. Ahora, en otro video, este tomado en Baton Rouge, que está a unas dos horas de Nueva Orleans, justo río arriba. Usted puede en realidad ver a los agentes persiguiendo a varios trabajadores de la construcción en un sitio de construcción fangosa. Se puede ver los agentes hacen arrodillarse a algunos de los hombres en el barro mientras los esposan y los llevan a otros todoterrenos sin matrícula. Ahora, el hombre que tomó ese video no quiso ser entrevistado, pero dijo que estos hombres estaban en el trabajo cuando esto ocurrió. ¿Liz? Katie Weiss en vivo para nosotros en Nueva Orleans. Gracias por esta actualización, Katie.
