Federal agents are set to conduct a two-month immigration crackdown starting Dec. 1. The operation aims to arrest around 5,000 people across southeast Louisiana and Mississippi.

A lawsuit filed Monday says the inhumane conditions of the newly opened “Louisiana Lockup” violate Double Jeopardy protections and that detainees should be released if the government fails to deport them after six months.
