7. WITH: US IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT-OPERATION NAMES
8. DESCRIPTION: “Operation Dirtbag” in Florida. Operation “Catahoula Crunch” in Louisiana. And now Operation Catch of the Day in Maine. The clash over the catchy and colorful approach to naming immigrant enforcement operations comes as pressure for the Trump administration to de-escalate rhetoric and ICE’s presence after two deadly shootings of U.S. citizens in Minnesota has hit a fever pitch. Trump supporters on social media have cheered for the names, saying they are entirely appropriate. But for others, it seems to equate immigrants as prey. The nomenclature of several immigration sweeps has drawn strong rebuke for seeming to dehumanize people and make light of operations that some argue only target Black and brown communities.
