👏 "When ICE is ready, we certainly welcome them to come into the city and be able to start taking some of these dangerous criminal illegal aliens off of our streets. And we've got a place to put them — at Angola." #lagov #nolasky

81 arrests in 5 hours as feds started in Charlotte. "Many illegal migrants have flocked to the Tar Heel State knowing sanctuary policies would allow them to roam free." Imagine that. Some pretty heinous criminals in this clip. Up next: New Orleans. 👏 #nolasky

👏 Appreciate @helenamorenola.com agreeing to appear on Newell Normand’s show at least once a month to take questions and provide updates. A major improvement over the current administration. #nolasky

"Crime is down, but is 80 murders... good?" Mayor Edwards takes the common sense position that Baton Rouge can benefit from the National Guard and welcomes their presence. Sadly, again, none of the highest-polling New Orleans mayoral candidates will put safety and order first. #lagov #nolasky

🎡 "This young man should have never been on the street." Court records show the suspect in the deadly Mid-City carjacking case was sentenced to a year behind bars for assaulting a teacher; but was given probation. So he moved on to carjacking and murder. #lagov #lalege #nolasky

👏 “I am 100% behind bringing [the National Guard] here,” Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sid Edwards said last week. He recounted times he comforted families who lost loved ones to crime. Why don’t New Orleans political candidates speak this way and welcome help when crime is such a problem? #nolasky

Bringing in the National Guard is "problematic for so many reasons?" We had *eight* homicides in the city last week. Eight. Including a shootout on Bourbon Street that took the life of a tourist celebrating her birthday. Is that not problematic? Not even mentioned. #nolasky

"Tonight, we're sending the Department of War a request... asking them to deploy the National Guard here in Louisiana into our cities like New Orleans... We're not going to tolerate this uptick in violence that's going on right now." 👏 Gov. Landry #lagov #nolasky

Sheriff Hutson has been a disaster. Why is it so hard to say, "no, she should not run again. New Orleans deserves much better?" Yet again, though, no calls for resignation. Not one. But all run on accountability. #nolasky

Broad Theater tried to host a Super Bowl-related event; but the theater flooded, again. The NFL Players Association wasn't able to get out of their vehicles to attend. One of so many reasons we need a #lalege caucus to help guard against city government fails. #lagov #nolasky

All three mayoral candidates run on accountability. Yet, even with constant chaos in city hall, the city in such poor condition, and the mayor under indictment, not one candidate thinks she should resign. If Cantrell's behavior isn't resignation worthy, what would be? #nolasky

It's disappointing that the DA's testimony included frivolous accusations of racism and bias. There are *real* problems in the DA's office. Many New Orleans residents and fellow Louisianans are thankful to Sen. Jay Morris, #lalege, and hearing participants for digging into them. #nolasky

As you might imagine, James Carville is against National Guard deployment in New Orleans. He appeared on Media Buzz with @howardkurtz.bsky.social this morning. "But crime is down" argument (sort of). No acknowledgement of 2,000+ additional arrests in DC, according to AG Pam Bondi. #nolasky

📺 It's after Labor Day. The attack ads are starting. #nolasky

More chaos from the city over traffic cameras. Senator Stewart Cathey had some thoughts on city leaders' abilities. 🔥 #lalege #nolasky

📺 City of New Orleans sues Louisiana over traffic camera law www.wdsu.com/article/new-...

During a dinner with members of Congress at the Rose Garden tonight, President Trump again discussed bringing the National Guard to New Orleans. #nolasky

Local media should widen their range of analysts, seek more diverse viewpoints. Dr. Chervenak doesn't acknowledge the persistently high crime numbers in New Orleans, or the National Guard's success in DC. In his view, sending the Guard here is only about politics and distraction. #nolasky

Sheriff candidates were asked if they would make inmate mugshots available again on the OPSO website now that the awful ban is repealed. Two good answers. One not so good. #lalege #nolasky

👍 Woodfork: Yes
👍 Shorty: Yes
👎 Hutson: In some instances
