New Orleans faces fear as immigration operation targets undocumented immigrants, sparking community concern and calls for accountability.
U.S. immigration officials have launched a new enforcement operation in New Orleans targeting undocumented immigrants, with a particular focus on individuals released from local custody under sanctuary-style policies. The move has sparked a wave of concern across the community.
Residents say the tactics used by federal agents are creating fear among families, including those without criminal records. One restaurant owner has even created makeshift sleeping spaces to keep loved ones out of sight as the operation intensifies.
Local leaders, including council member Lesli Harris, are calling for clarity and accountability as the operation continues through the end of the year. The full scope of the federal action remains uncertain.

EU launches antitrust probe into Meta over WhatsApp AI policy
EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.
EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.
The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.
Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.
The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
