After a mere three months of this crystal spring flowing from the road in front of my house, two cones have appeared. Guessing that means we're 18-24 months from a repair? @SWBNewOrleans

Don't say I didn't try to warn. The idiots running this city just rinse and repeat glaring unforced errors from the past, no matter how many citizens have to suffer in the process.

Being used to release illegal immigrants into America, yes. Because neither the 5th nor 14th amendments apply to non-citizens who unlawfully sneak in. Detention until the next flight home.

The 5th Circuit sure does hate the 5th and especially the 14th amendments veritenews.org/2026/10/23/im…

Immigrants in ICE detention have no due process rights under US Constitution, federal appeals court...

The 5th Circuit ruling affects tens of thousands of people in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, where immigrant detention is growing.

HUGE: The en banc Fifth Circuit just held, 11-6, that illegal aliens caught in the interior can be detained without bond for the duration of their removal proceedings. Judge James Ho in a concurring opinion: "A nation ceases to be a nation if it can't protect its borders."

I was OPSO general counsel when this "cap" was put in place. It was always illegal and unenforceable by the City, hence why it was shrugged off and didn't push back. No need. The City is required to provide a jail sufficient to hold ALL of the prisoners detained pursuant to the Court's detention holds. Municipalities have no authority to ignore that law via "caps." @susanguidry's moronic fight to artificially reduce the size of the jail has caused the City of New Orleans to continually be in violation of state law.

The Orleans Parish jail held 1,430 people Wednesday—180 over the city's legal cap. Sheriff Woodfork says overcrowding is blocking a new medical facility and federal compliance. She's requesting $17 million to fix it. wwltv.com/article/news/local…

The last time I was present at a meeting (waiting to testify for an agency budget... the ONLY reason I'd be within 500 ft) where yall were "regulating" a company, it was questions about how many LGBTQ+ employees it had on staff, climate change and DBE percentages. Clueless.

Let's take a break from budget to talk about regulating Waymo 🚖 You may have seen Waymo vehicles across the city recently. Autonomous vehicles like Waymo are an emerging industry that is looking to expand here in New Orleans. instagram.com/p/Dej5ub4DhR4/

Assessor fails to CC the hearing officer he's appealing from on his letter to Council (the judge) and "oh well." Fails to notify property owner of a quadrupled assessment and another "oh well." These procedural deficiencies should be strictly construed against the assessor.

There is actually a third choice which involves cutting appropriations to entities which provide no services at all.

“I have six witnesses starting at 1 p.m. lined up (with counsel and their drivers as they want parking places) and these folks are VIP’s, just ask ‘em!!!” read one text. nola.com/news/courts/murrill…

Courtesy or collusion? Texts show Orleans officials’ conversations before AG indictment.

In a series of text messages that Liz Murrill’s attorneys submitted this week to the Louisiana Supreme Court, Laurie White sought and received guidance from two officials in Jason Williams’ office.

Attorney General Liz Murrill@AGLizMurrillOct 14
The new response by SEC lawyers proves that the Commissioner was never acting in good faith. LSU has broken no rules, and the case is moot. The lawsuit was garbage from the start and should be dismissed.

If you were at Six Flags in Atlanta on October 12, contact my office IMMEDIATELY. If you had blood splattered on you from the incident, you have a case. If you were on Goliath when it malfunctioned, you have a case. If you were physically impacted at all, you have a case. Do NOT wait for evidence to be lost. CEO Lawyer will work for you on a pure contingency, and we will make sure to hold Six Flags accountable.
