re: Does Louisiana Have Any "Sanctuary Cities"?

New Orleans is not a sanctuary city. Rispone is a moron and I can’t wait to never see his ads again.

The Rispone and Abraham campaigns have lambasted New Orleans as a so-called “sanctuary city” that flouts federal immigration laws. But the Trump administration’s own Department of Justice told former Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s administration in November 2017 that it was not a sanctuary city because the city’s police were in compliance with federal laws.

That followed a debate over whether the city was a “sanctuary” for unauthorized immigrants amid threats by the Trump administration to withhold federal funding. The Trump administration has made clear it still would like New Orleans officials to do more to identify and report people in the country illegally to immigration authorities.

The Rispone campaign points to the Center for Immigration Studies, an anti-immigration think tank, which still labels New Orleans as a sanctuary city, mainly because of its policies of honoring detainer requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) only in limited cases.
