The federal government is sending roughly 250 Border Patrol agents to New Orleans for an operation now being billed as “Swamp Sweep,” a two-month enforcement surge slated to begin Dec. 1, 2025, that officials say aims to net roughly 5,000 arrests across southeast Louisiana and parts of Mississippi. This is not a drill — it’s a decisive move to reclaim public safety in communities long strained by lawlessness and failed border policy.
Governor Jeff Landry has made it plain he welcomes federal partners and wants dangerous criminal illegal aliens off Louisiana streets, pointing to state detention capacity and cooperation with ICE and local law enforcement. Patriots should cheer a governor who stands with law-and-order officers instead of pandering to sanctuary rhetoric and political correctness.
Officials are planning significant staging and logistics — from an FBI command post in New Orleans to use of naval facilities to house vehicles and equipment — because this kind of work requires muscle and coordination, not wishful thinking. Conservatives have long argued enforcement works; when authorities have the tools and the political will, neighborhoods get safer and victims can breathe easier.
Expect predictable hand-wringing from city hall and liberal activists who reflexively oppose any serious immigration enforcement, even when it targets criminals. Those same politicians spent years enabling the problem, and now when tough action finally arrives they feign outrage while our communities pay the price.
Some will raise questions about tactics and past controversies tied to the Border Patrol commander tapped for this effort — Gregory Bovino has been criticized over aggressive methods in prior operations — but make no mistake: critics cannot be allowed to tie the hands of officers trying to keep citizens safe. The real question for Americans is whether we will side with the safety of neighborhoods or the politics of permissiveness.
Gov. Landry’s stance should be a rallying cry for every patriot who believes in secure borders and secure streets; law-and-order is not a partisan luxury, it is the foundation of prosperity. If Washington is finally willing to act, conservative leaders and citizens must stand shoulder to shoulder with the men and women enforcing the law until our communities are once again safe places to raise a family.
