DHS’s ‘Catahoula Crunch’ Launches, Targets Criminal Aliens But Leaves Boats Untouched
KEY POINTS
- •On December 3, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security began Operation Catahoula Crunch in New Orleans to target criminal illegal aliens.
- •The Trump administration recently conducted immigration enforcement in Charlotte, arresting over 300 undocumented immigrants.
- •Questions remain over who ordered recent strikes, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s involvement unclear amid a Signal chat leak scandal.
On December 3, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security lit up New Orleans with Operation Catahoula Crunch, a name so crunchy it sounds like a breakfast cereal aimed at 'criminal illegal aliens' allegedly roaming free thanks to sanctuary policies. This comes hot on the heels of Trump’s admin wielding federal enforcement like an amateur chef in Charlotte, NC, where 300 undocumented immigrants were rounded up like contestants on a bizarre reality show. Meanwhile, the elusive strike orders—possibly mastered by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who’s embroiled in a messy Signal chat leak scandal—remain as mysterious as the Bermuda Triangle. The crew of the drug boat got a pass, unlike the human targets, proving once again that in politics, boats are innocent until occasionally inconvenient.

The DHS dropped Operation Catahoula Crunch on New Orleans like it’s a Red Bull for law enforcement, all while Hegseth’s Signal chats leak like a cheap motel showerhead—no one knows who ordered what, but chaos is the clear headliner.
Is ‘Catahoula Crunch’ DHS’s attempt at a new cereal or an immigration enforcement operation? Either way, it’s got crumbs everywhere.
Pete Hegseth’s Signal leak and mystery boat strikes prove the Trump admin’s new policy: confuse everybody, help nobody.
