flag New Orleans may change its 2016 ban on cooperating with federal immigration enforcement due to state and federal pressure.

flag The New Orleans Police Department is reconsidering its 2016 policy banning cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, amid pressure from state Attorney General Liz Murrill and a 2024 state law targeting sanctuary cities. flag The potential shift, driven by political and legal pressures under President Trump’s second term, could lead to greater involvement with federal immigration detainers, though NOPD officials say the change won’t expand officers’ roles. flag The move has sparked concern among immigrant rights advocates, while the department denies inaccuracies in DHS claims about detaining a police recruit. flag The revised policy, expected to be integrated into broader guidelines, remains under review by Attorney General Jeff Landry, with no final decision yet confirmed by Mayor Helena Moreno’s office.
