And the New York Times, they've taken a strong position on this.

They really have.

They have now sued the Pentagon and they've said that its policies violate the First Amendment.

And that is basically the right to a free press along with other things.

So they've put this lawsuit forward.

And according to its summary, they said the purpose of this policy is to essentially close the doors of the Pentagon.

And this is an area which has historically been very much open to the press.

So investigating it and reporting on it without fear or favour about actions of department and its leadership.

They say that is now in question.

Therefore, it really does go against what everything the First Amendment stands for.

They say these policies really threaten lawful and routine news gathering techniques.

So they've asked the court to issue an order which stops the Pentagon from enforcing these policies, as well as a declaration that these provisions relating to exercising the First Amendment are unlawful.

And that's what they're really pushing for.

And they've said that they intend to vigorously defend it and that these violations go against everything that having a free press in the United States stands for.

But the operation has sparked a fierce backlash in the Democrat-run city, as Tom Bateman reports.

The mass deportation raids start at dawn, and we're out looking for the agents of President Trump's migration crackdown as it arrives in New Orleans.

We find Latino neighbourhoods on edge, each passing car raising alarm.
