Federal agents descended on New Orleans on Wednesday, making Louisiana's most populous city the latest front in the Trump administration's sweeping crackdown on immigrant communities.

Masked agents patrolled a heavily Latino suburb in marked and unmarked vehicles, and a resident told the Associated Press he watched agents arresting men outside a home improvement store in New Orleans - a familiar scene that has played out in several major cities in recent months.
