KENNER (WVUE) - Sisters Heylin and Merlin Reyes are demanding answers about the whereabouts of their father, Jose, who Border Patrol arrested in front of their home in Kenner, Louisiana.

The arrest occurred Thursday afternoon, Dec. 4, on the second day of Border Patrol’s Operation Catahoula Crunch, a large-scale immigration enforcement crackdown underway in the New Orleans metro area.

Heylin was in tears describing how she saw immigration agents pull her father from his car, handcuff him on the ground and place him in the back of an unmarked SUV.
