Summary
Hundreds show up at New Orleans immigration court just to confirm their addresses—only to be sent home—raising alarms that these “mega dockets” may be a setup for mass deportations. With the highest arrest rate per noncitizen in the country, ICE’s Louisiana region is aggressively targeting people already entangled in the system, often through minor interactions like traffic stops that funnel them into federal custody. States like Mississippi and Alabama are compounding the crisis with laws that criminalize undocumented presence and mandate full cooperation with ICE, turning everyday encounters with law enforcement into potential deportation triggers. Even those trying to comply risk being swept into a system increasingly focused on removal, not resolution. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
