Louisiana AG urges NOPD to cooperate fully with federal immigration authorities

Two inmates in Louisiana have escaped from jail by breaking through a degrading wall and using sheets to scale another wall, raising concerns about security and management within the facility. Authorities are actively searching for the escapees, who are accused of violent crimes.

Federal border agents have initiated a crackdown in a Hispanic neighborhood near New Orleans, leading to empty shops and significant distress among local business owners. This operation is part of a broader immigration enforcement strategy targeting undocumented immigrants across Louisiana, with reports indicating the deployment of 250 agents aiming for thousands of arrests.

Protesters disrupted a New Orleans city council meeting to voice their opposition to an immigration crackdown by ICE, resulting in their removal from the event. This incident occurred as federal agents launched an operation in the city, marking New Orleans as a new target in the Trump administration's extensive immigration enforcement efforts.
