There’s an organized ring of ICE agents murdering parents? 😱

Then that will go to court where records will be subpoenaed and judges will decide if their actions were proper.

If they’re operating outside of the law, courts will handle it.

Coming down from murder capital to high crime city again isn’t enough. May want to keep up with current info on the DA’s constant case dismissals, legislative hearings, likely legislation in response, etc.

Read them. Home and community safety is weighted at 60 out of 100 points and, as one might expect (particularly with our let-em-go DA), we ranked dead last there.

Our crime rates are consistently higher. We do not have crime under control. And have a reputation for same. Not good. More deadly chaos in the French Quarter yesterday, where we encourage tourists to go. Alarming and completely unacceptable. Let’s see what the Guard can do. They helped before.

I do enjoy the city. But I also recognize that we had 8 murders in a recent week, including a visitor to our city celebrating her birthday. Her present? She was shot to death on bourbon street. A father picking up his child from daycare carjacked and murdered. Abhorrent. Totally unacceptable.

I’m not a libertarian.

I didn’t say I expect total freedom from crime. While that’s a nice aspirational goal, it’s not possible. What is possible (& real goal) is to become a reliably low-crime city. Notably so. To be one of the lowest crime cities among our competitor cities and eventually among the lowest in the country

You may be satisfied with 100 murders. I’m not. I want New Orleans to be a notably, reliably safe city. To make lists of the country’s safest cities. Glad for our progress, but we’re far from that and have a lot to do. The Guard can help, just as they have before. So bring them here. No brainer.

You’re saying we haven’t had over 100 homicides so far this year?

Down from murder capital is still high crime. We’ve had over 100 homicides just this year alone.

A pretty bizarre way to characterize crime-fighting help in a perpetually high-crime city.

My God. We need the National Guard ASAP. 🙏
