2023 LA Governor's race: on Immigration


Mitch Landrieu: Backs police policy of not questioning immigration status

At the heart of the dispute is an NOPD policy instructing officers not to ask people about their immigration status during investigations, something that Sessions contends makes New Orleans a "sanctuary city" out of compliance with federal law. Landrieu disputes that. "As we've said before, New Orleans does now and will continue to follow federal laws, and the NOPD will continue to arrest and convict violent criminals, regardless of their immigration status," Landrieu said.

Jeff Landry: Biden prioritizes non-citizens over American citizens

Landry is leading a coalition of 14 states suing the Biden administration over yet another unlawful immigration rule. "Biden continues to prioritize non-citizens over American citizens he took an oath to protect," said Attorney General Landry. "He is once again undermining the rule of law and jeopardizing the safety and security of our country. This rule will make an already porous border even easier for drugs, human traffickers, and sexual predators to cross."
