Ten people detained during joint wildlife and federal patrol on Louisiana oyster beds
Nov 15, 2025 · St. Bernard Parish, LA
In November 2025, a joint patrol by Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries officers and federal immigration agents on oyster beds in St. Bernard and Terrebonne parishes resulted in ten people being detained for alleged immigration violations during peak oyster harvest season. Community organizations have begun alerting workers about their rights as immigration enforcement expands into seasonal industries like aquaculture.
