Louisiana's Attorney General sues New Orleans over policies limiting cooperation with ICE.

Louisiana's Attorney General, Liz Murrill, has filed a lawsuit against New Orleans over its "sanctuary city" policies. The lawsuit challenges a 2013 consent decree that prevents the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office from cooperating with ICE detainer requests for most detainees, except those accused of violent crimes. Murrill argues that new state law mandates local law enforcement to assist in federal immigration enforcement, and the existing policy violates this law. This legal action comes amid efforts to align with President Trump's immigration enforcement policies.
