The New Orleans Police Department responded to the DHS statement with its own statement following the arrest of Temah:

Recent statements regarding Recruit Larry Temah are misleading. The New Orleans Police Department verified Mr. Temah’s employment eligibility through ICE’s E-Verify system prior to hiring and was never notified of any ICE detainer. New Orleans is not a sanctuary city, and NOPD does not control jail operations or detainer decisions, which fall under the Sheriff’s Office. Any claim that NOPD knowingly violated the law is false.
Officer Reese Harper (NOPD Director of Communications)

    And the response of the police department of course is literally “ey, we did our due diligence, it’s not our fault if he’s illegal” instead of “GET YOUR FUCKING GRUBBY NAZI CLAWS OF MY EMPLOYEES YOU ORANGE FUCK!”

      ACAB. Any cops that do not act to remove the fascists from power are complicit and should be brought before a people’s court for their complicity in crimes against humanity after we have taken back control from the pedophilic elites they serve.

    Real brave of New Orleans PR putting out a statement defending themselves while completely ignoring their officer. No mention of their confidence in him - or denying that he’s a “Criminal illegal alien having no place in our community.” Fucking pussies.

    In case you fail to read the article or statement above, they claim to have used ICEs own system to verify his eligibility. the incompetency has no bounds.

      It’s not incompetency. Incompetency assumes you tried in good faith to do something the right way.

      What ICE is doing is just trying to piss people off enough to be scared for their lives. They ARE accomplishing that task.

      Did they cross reference this guys identity, and verify he was a citizen? No, but that was never their intent.

      They aren’t incompetent. They’re malicious. Intentionally evil.

        They held of the skin color swatch and determined he was in the “Arrest and deport” range. That’s all they feel they need.

        Well going for a cop isn’t going to help them is it? If the cops and ICE end up shooting each other I think most people will consider that to be a fairly acceptable outcome.

        And likely part of the grand plan. This only stokes the flames of civil unrest so some authoritarian fascist can blindly enact marshall law

        What ICE is doing is convincing people they are going to die. That makes some run and hide and other prepare to live.

    This probably should have been “New Orleans cop arrests ICE and calling them illegal” to see what the response would be to that.

    I understand black communities need black, local cops, but I’ll never understand a person of color choosing to be a cop. The institution literally starts as slave catchers.

      An enemy of an enemy is not always a friend.

      Ice will just arrest all the POCs and lefties (for a cop) off the local PDs. Then all that will be left are the good-old-boys.

        But never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake.

    Kidnapping a police officer is a bold move. In the interest of compliance with rules, I sincerely hope that this trend of LARPer vs. LEO will not continue until there is a predictable and unfunny consequence.
