A New Orleans police recruit from Cameroon was arrested by ICE days before graduation due to immigration violations, including a denied residency application and missed court dates.
Larry Temah, a 46-year-old New Orleans Police Department recruit from Cameroon, was arrested by ICE on January 28, 2026, just days before graduating from the police academy.
He entered the U.S. legally in 2015 and obtained conditional residency after marrying a U.S. citizen, but his permanent residency application was denied in 2022 due to fraud.
He failed to appear in immigration court three times, resulting in an in absentia deportation order.
ICE stated he was issued a firearm despite lacking valid work authorization and an active deportation order, violating federal law.
The NOPD said it verified his eligibility through E-Verify and was not notified of any detainer, disputing claims it violated federal law.
Temah remains in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
