The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is to change their tactics involving raids

across the country, sources have said. 

Instead of sweeping raids that agents have carried out at locations including Home

Depot, agents will now hone in on immigrants wanted for serious offenses. 

A source confirmed the change in tact to NewsNation, saying that teams under

Commander Gregory Bovino would be responsible for the targeted operations. 

The source said that despite the changes, targeted operations already underway

including Operation Catahoula Crunch in New Orleans would continue as normal. 

So far that operation in the Louisiana city has resulted in around 250 arrests in the

last week. The DHS said the end goal is 5,000 arrests. 

Operation Catahoula Crunch was launched last week with Border Patrol having

moved 250 agents to the city. 

According to a statement from DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, some of

those arrested have rap sheets including, homicide, child abuse and kidnapping.
