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)


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.
