Gregory Bovino is leading the DHS's new "
Operation Swamp Sweep" in New Orleans, following major enforcement efforts in Charlotte and Chicago.
Activists in those cities have used warning tactics against ICE agents, while leaders like Michael Banks and Tricia McLaughlin have emphasized the need for ongoing arrests and adherence to federal law. Incidents like the fatal Silverio Villegas González shooting and local protests have prompted investigations into ICE actions and intensified public debate.
