Nearly 50 illegal immigrants arrested in Southeast with money and guns
By Brady Knox,
26 days agoPolice arrested 48 illegal immigrants over the course of a week in the Southeast as part of a larger operation.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection partnered with the Homeland Security Investigations and local law enforcement for "Operation Magnolia," a highway interdiction operation which resulted in the apprehension of migrants from Mexico, Nicaragua, Kazakhstan, Honduras, Colombia, and Guatemala in the last week of April. Three U.S. citizens were also arrested.
“If you attempt to smuggle narcotics, contraband, or illegal aliens through Alabama, Mississippi, or Louisiana, you will be caught, prosecuted, and put in jail,” Adam Calderson, New Orleans Sector acting chief patrol agent, said in a statement . “The U.S. Border Patrol is committed to enforcing our nation’s laws.”
The operation was overseen by the Border Patrol's New Orleans Sector, which encompasses areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida.
The arrests were made along the Interstate 10 corridor in Mississippi, with the nearest Mexico border crossing over 700 miles away from the closest section of I-10 in Mississippi.

During a presentation Wednesday to the Safety, Housing, Education and Homelessness Committee of the City Council, deputy director for shelter at the Department of Housing Stability Jeff Kositsky discussed family homelessness. According to self-reported data shared during the presentation, 74% of households served were experiencing homelessness for the first time. More than a quarter of households had at least one family member with a disabling condition. Causes of homelessness included health problems (46%), lack of employment (24%) and an inability to pay a mortgage or rent (21%).

The post, which has gained almost three thousand reactions and hundreds of comments within two days, explains that all this young dog wants out of life is one person to fully "devote his evil, dead soul to." The shelter pulls no punches in describing this distinctive-looking pup, who they say resembles "a baby pig" and may be a Frenchie/Chihuahua mix.
