US EditionLouisiana governor teams up with President Donald Trump to crack down on illegal immigration
- On May 15, 2025, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry partnered with President Donald Trump and ICE to launch Operation GEAUX to enforce immigration laws in Louisiana.
- The operation reflects concerns that weakened immigration enforcement under the Biden administration resulted in a large wave of illegal immigration, prompting increased state-federal cooperation.
- Operation GEAUX empowers Louisiana law enforcement to implement federal immigration laws using advanced detection methods, proactive identification efforts, and a comprehensive statewide campaign to raise public awareness.
- Landry warned that individuals residing in the state without legal permission who commit crimes will face removal from the country or imprisonment, highlighting the state's strict approach toward criminal illegal immigrants.
- This initiative expands state authority in immigration enforcement and aligns with Trump’s goals to restore law and order, signaling a shift toward stricter immigration policies in Louisiana.
