People holding umbrellas in the rain attend a protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), amid reports that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is planning to deploy federal border agents to southeast Louisiana, at Lafayette Square, in New Orleans, La., Dec. 1, 2025.

Duca of Baton Rouge issued a dispensation Dec. 4 from the obligation to attend Mass for those Catholics who are "rightfully afraid to participate in Mass because of their fear" of immigration enforcement actions.
