ICE voodoo doll discovered in New Orleans as immigration crackdown continues

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A makeshift “voodoo doll” depicting a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent was found in Uptown New Orleans near Magazine Street, according to Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, as federal immigration operations continue across the area.

Photos show a felt doll tied to a tree, covered in pins, wearing clothing labeled “ICE,” with a handwritten sign above it.

The doll was discovered in a residential area in New Orleans, which has seen protests and heightened tension amid the ongoing federal crackdown known as Operation Catahoula Crunch.

Attorney General Liz Murrill responded publicly after the photo circulated online.

“You can tell the pro-illegal immigration radicals are losing the argument when they resort to ICE voodoo dolls and harassing the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force in New Orleans,” Murrill said.

Pretty soon they will be going house-to-house to search for voodoo dolls as they would an WMD.

Heavens! They might even find some of THESE on their house-to-house searches. WMDs, for sure!

Voodoo, which is original spiritual practices of the Africans who were brought over to the New World as slaves and syncretized with Catholicism, has always been about resistance to authority.
