Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill seeks to end a 12-year-old agreement, allowing Orleans Parish jail officials to assist federal immigration authorities in holding individuals past their release dates. The agreement, made in 2013, was a result of a lawsuit by two men who claimed they were jailed longer due to an immigration request. Murrill argues the agreement conflicts with a new state law passed in 2024, which bans sanctuary policies and requires local officials to support federal immigration enforcement. Murrills move is part of Republican officials efforts to influence policy in New Orleans, aligning with broader federal immigration crackdowns. Attorneys for the two men oppose Murrills motion, warning of potential higher taxpayer costs.
