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)
They also managed without medicine. And a lot of people died.
Just because there is an undeniable police problem I wouldn’t want to go back to vigilantes taking revenge by cutting people’s ears off or something.
I think if we get together, we can come up with other solutions beyond vigilante justice and a protected class who hold a monopoly on state-endorsed violence. No, the police have got to go, man.
Right, police murdering you in cold blood bcz you didn’t comply with their orders is so much better.
