Trump administration illegally targeted pro-Palestinian protesters, judge rules The efforts to detain and deport noncitizen activists earlier this year represented an unconstitutional infringement on the First Amendment, the ruling says.

bad new bears: landry asking for a long term deployment of the national guard (through the end of FY2026). they’re already on the ground in louisiana helping ICE, but this request is explicitly for policing majority Black cities (Shreveport, Baton Rouge, New Orleans). www.wwltv.com/article/news...

these match national trends in crime declines. we know the fear mongering around crime is political theater meant to distract from the actual purpose of deploying troops on american soil — don’t let the government lie to you when they send soldiers into our streets.

Long a U.S. 'murder capital,' New Orleans is on pace for 50-year low in killings in 2025 From a 47-year low of 120 reported murders in 2019, an eruption of violence peaked in 2022 with 265 murders, a post-Katrina high. And more than halfway through 2025, preliminary NOPD data indicate t...

and of course it is important to say that landry is absolutely wrong on crime rates here: new orleans is seeing a record breaking decline in crime, which landry and the NOPD and the state police have all touted widely and loudly when convenient to them. www.nola.com/news/crime_p...

This is roving racism—and whatever the Supreme Court and Brett Kavanaugh said or didn’t say a few weeks ago won’t be the end of it:

“He exhibited articulable facts that made us take a look, and then we took a look and our suspicions were proven true. It does appear right now he’s an illegal alien.”

This passage nearly broke me.

'I want his name to be known': Wife of immigrant injured at ICE facility shooting speaks out Stephany Gauffeny says she wants the world to know that her husband, Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, is more than "just an immigrant or a detainee, or a criminal."
