Mayor SHUTS DOWN ICE! New Orleans Police REFUSE Immigration Enforcement!
Did you know that local police departments across the nation could be acting as de facto immigration agents, often blurring the lines of their primary mission? In a significant move, New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno has issued an executive order explicitly prohibiting any city official from entering "287(g) agreements." These agreements typically deputize local law enforcement to carry out immigration enforcement tasks for ICE. Moreno emphatically stated that immigration enforcement is not, and will never be, the mission of the New Orleans Police Department under her watch. Consequently, the NOPD will not inquire about immigration status or accept deputization from ICE. Instead, the NOPD's unwavering priority remains public safety, focusing on responding to violent crime, protecting residents, and building trust within communities. This bold decision aligns New Orleans with at least eight other states that have implemented similar bans, reflecting a growing national discussion. It underscores a fundamental shift in how some local governments are choosing to define the roles and responsibilities of their police forces. This move aims to build stronger community relationships by ensuring residents feel safe reporting crimes without fear of immigration inquiries.
