The Louisiana Department of Justice has completed its report on the 2025 New Year’s Day terrorist attack in New Orleans and is currently in conversations with the city and our other law enforcement partners in preparation for January 1 and Mardi Gras. Due to the sensitive security nature of the report, we will release its findings in the near future, as appropriate. I continue to be encouraged by the federal, state, and local collaborative focus on making sure that the city is safe this holiday season and into the new year.

I recommend that Superintendent Kirkpatrick immediately direct NOPD officers and staff to fully cooperate with @ICEgov and @CBP. Because we have a common interest in the safety and security of all New Orleans residents, I look forward to working with her and @NOPDNews to ensure its policies and actions comply with state law.

And just minutes ago, the @ACLUofLouisiana voluntarily dismissed its suit after it became clear in a court hearing yesterday that the suit was utterly frivolous. #lalege
