Months after aggressive law enforcement response, anti-Trump group returns to Pearl River
An anti-Trump group returned to Pearl River, Louisiana, months after facing counter-protesters and heavy law enforcement during a February 2026 demonstration. The group, motivated by concerns over Trump's policies and the 2025 Border Patrol surge in New Orleans, previously protested a local 287(g) task force agreement with ICE, leading to arrests in January 2026. Pearl River, a conservative area with 88% of votes for Trump in 2024, remains a challenging location for the progressive activists.
