Judge: NOPD consent decree can end

Decision stems from changes in Justice Department BY JOHN SIMERMAN

Staff writer

The federal judge who has overseen reforms to the New Orleans Police Department for more than 12 years under a consent decree said Thursday that she would

agree to end the agreement at the request of the city and the Trump administration. The brief order from U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan does not immediately terminate the sprawling police consent decree, which has governed nearly every aspect

La. cancels another diversion project Concerns raised over future coastal work BY MIKE SMITH Staff writer

Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a Trump administration plan to halt the fighting, a litany of questions remain on next steps, including Hamas disarmament, a withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a future government in

The state has officially canceled another large-scale plan to rebuild lost wetlands in southeast Louisiana through a controversial sediment diversion, a long-expected move by Gov. Jeff Landry’s administration drawing sharply divergent reactions. The Mid-Breton Sediment Diversion was to be built on the east bank of the Mississippi River near Wills Point, across from Delacroix. The aim was to address land loss in the area by mimicking the way the Mississippi built south Louisiana in the first place by channeling river water and sediment into the Breton Basin. It was meant to be a companion project to the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion, which was to be built on the west bank of the river near Myrtle Grove. The state officially canceled that unprecedented $3 billion project in July after having previously said it intended to abandon it even though it had broken ground in 2023 following years of study and planning. Some $619 million in funds related to the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon spill had already been spent on Mid-Barataria. Around $90 million

Forces will help support and monitor ceasefire deal in Gaza BY KONSTANTIN TOROPIN and MICHELLE L. PRICE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The United States is sending about 200 troops to Israel to help support and monitor the ceasefire deal in Gaza as part of a team that includes partner nations, nongovernmental organizations and private-sector players, U.S. officials said Thursday. The officials, who spoke on condition

of anonymity to discuss details that were not authorized for release, said U.S. Central Command is going to establish a “civil-military coordination center” in Israel that will help facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid as well as logistical and security assistance into the territory wracked by two years of war. The remarks provide some of the first details on how the ceasefire deal would be monitored and that the U.S. military would have a role in that effort. After
