Jeff Landry didn’t invite BCP to fight illegal immigration. He invited Trump’s Gestapo to punish their shared political enemies

There were 10 murders in New Orleans in November and 108 so far in 2025. That's the second fewest through November since 1970 and the city is on pace for 117 in 2025 which would be the fewest in a year since 1970.

This is what our current fascist administration is doing to our local communities. A staple in mid for almost 20 years has to close down their shop just to protect their workers from the Nazis that will begin conducting raids in New Orleans tomorrow. Please support them today if you are in town.
