LAFAYETTE, La. (NEWS 15) — Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser expressed concerns about President Donald Trump's plan to deploy federal agents in New Orleans for an immigration crackdown.

Nungesser, a Republican, shared his apprehensions during an exclusive interview with News 15, stating that the effort may negatively impact the state's tourism and economy.

"Anything that hurts our tourism industry is not good," Nungesser said. "I'm all for getting the criminals, illegal criminals out of this country, but these attacks on the city, I'm concerned it's gonna have a negative effect on the tourism industry."

Nungesser's remarks came ahead of his keynote address at the Acadiana Republican Women's meeting in Lafayette. His stance appears to contrast with Gov. Jeff Landry, who has expressed support for the presence of ICE agents and has no concerns about the initiative.

The immigration enforcement plan, known as "Operation Swamp Sweep," is set to roll out in New Orleans.

What Gov Landry SHOULD do is respond back with “Fine, Billy. Then I’m reinstating the Mid-Barataria Diversion Project”… which shouldn’t have been canceled in the first place.

But that’s just hope & change wishing.

How about the godamn garbage all over the place coupled with the terrible roads? Didn't Nungesser announce an alleged cleanup initiative not too long ago?

Nungesser was a Democrat until about 10 minutes ago.

That comment right there really pisses me off. So rounding up illegals and criminals is an "attack" on a city?!

He did create a very successful offshore support company.

That said, doesn’t negate that he’s been a political leech and snake since the 80s.

Nungesser is a clown. Needs to stop speaking before people realize how worthless he is and take his cush fake office away.

New Orleans has its lowest public image ever. Things have literally never been worse there.

What a fat dumbass thing to say.

So he thinks cleaning up the city of criminal illegal aliens is going to make the city more dangerous and less suitable for tourism?

I can’t think of any way that removing criminals from society makes society less desirable.

Apparently, the glucose giant can.

I would really like to hear his logic on this.
