A week after Gov. Jeff Landry signed Executive Order “Operation GEAUX,” which calls on Louisiana law enforcement agencies to partner with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), five state agencies have entered into agreements.

According to ICE, Alcohol & Tobacco Control, Wildlife and Fisheries, the National Guard, the State Fire Marshal, and the State Police have all joined ICE’s 287(g) program under the task force model.

The program allows participating agencies to exercise limited immigration enforcement authority under ICE supervision during routine police work.

"This is a big, great, beautiful executive order,” Gov. Landry said in a social media video after signing Operation GEAUX.

The immigrant rights group Union Migrante is concerned about the growing number of ICE agreements in Louisiana. Organizer Alfredo Salazar argues that Operation GEAUX ignores the state’s more pressing problems.

“This is a political show to distract people from the state’s real issues,” Salazar said. “They are putting those problems aside and putting immigrants front and center.”

Yeah, you right. Don’t pay attention to how awful everything else is in Louisiana. No jobs, everybody is broke AF, can’t afford groceries or rent, hurricane season is about to start and there is absolutely no plan for what we’re going to do when Trump denies us emergency aid, but “look at all the right people we’re hurting!”
