The American Immigration Lawyers Association called the shootings “a stark reminder that behind every immigration case number is a human being deserving of dignity, safety, and respect.” “Whether they are individuals navigating the immigration process, public servants carrying out their duties, or professionals working within the system,
In August, three men were arrested for breaking into a Baton Rouge apartment in the middle of the night. Among them was a former sheriff’s deputy from Plaquemines Parish and a convicted felon. The trio was working as bounty hunters, but had raided the wrong address. Despite the felony charges they face, all three are allowed to keep working in the little-known industry. Brian Green, 41, of Belle Chasse, and Roderick Larkins, 31, and Jhustyn Garrett, 31, both of Slidell, were arrested by Baton Rouge police and charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and home invasion. Garrett, who has a prior domestic abuse conviction, also faces a count of firearm possession as a felon. Under Louisiana’s cash bail system, judges set a dollar amount defendants must pay to avoid languishing in pretrial detention. If paid in full and court orders are followed, the court returns bail after the case concludes, even if the person is convicted of a crime. Defendants who can’t afford bail may hire a licensed bail bond agent, who covers the total amount in exchange for a 12% fee. If the defendant meets all court requirements, the court repays the bondsman,

DALLAS — A shooter with a rifle opened fire from a nearby roof onto a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement location in Dallas on Wednesday, killing one detainee and wounding two others in a transport van before taking his own life, authorities said.

months in the making. The Superdome lease itself has been ready for days, negotiators say. It runs for 10 years and gives the Saints the option to extend every five years through 2055, a deal meant to secure the team’s future in New Orleans for a generation. But as of midweek, nothing has been signed because of a sticking point familiar to anyone who has tracked the team’s history with the state: real estate. The two sides have been deadlocked over how to handle leases

The state wants to separate them and move the Dome lease forward first. However, negotiators said Wednesday that they believe the issues will be resolved within a few days.
