State unveils biggest marsh-building project
Trump: Guard heading to N.O. Deployment planned in coming weeks

Located at a crossroads of the state’s coastal challenges, it also provided another lesson in Louisiana’s complex land loss crisis, the Hurricane Katrina memorial cross at Shell Beach rising
National Guard members will arrive in New Orleans within weeks, President Donald Trump said Tuesday, following a request by Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry for a monthslong, federally funded deployment aimed at tamping down on crime in the city. Speaking at a Cabinet meeting, Trump confirmed that the National Guard would be deployed to New Orleans “in a couple of weeks.” “We’re going to New Orleans pretty soon,” Trump said. “Gov. Landry — great guy, great governor — he’s asked for help in New Orleans.” Trump confirmed his plans after Landry said on Monday that he had received a commitment from Trump to send the National Guard to New Orleans “before Christmas.” “He said, ‘Don’t worry Jeff, we’ll have them there in two weeks,’” Landry said at an event commemorating victims of the vehicle-ramming attack on Bourbon Street on Jan. 1. In September, Landry requested that the federal government pay for 1,000 Louisiana National Guard members to support law enforcement in Louisiana cities through the end of fiscal year 2026. Neither the governor nor the president said how many Guard members would come to New Orleans, though Landry said Monday that they would remain in the city through Mardi Gras, which next year is Feb. 17. That’s less time than Landry requested. The governor also said he expected to know how many Guard members the government would pay for “within the next week or so.” Noel Collins, a spokesperson for the

Land rebuilt on the edge of Lake Borgne
BY MIKE SMITH Staff writer
The state’s biggest marsh-building project ever completed was unveiled Tuesday in St. Bernard Parish, where enough sediment to fill the Superdome three times over was used to rebuild land rapidly washing away along the edge of Lake Borgne. The ribbon-cutting for what is officially known as the Lake Borgne Marsh Creation Project came with the state facing scrutiny over its coastal restoration program following the cancellation of two high-profile river di-

But the completion of the major marsh-building effort in a spot frequented by legions of southeast Louisiana fishermen and duck hunters was a celebratory moment despite the blustery, cold weather for the event.
Survivors have their day in court
In archdiocese bankruptcy case, nearly two dozen recount abuse BY STEPHANIE RIEGEL Survivors of clergy sex abuse in the Archdiocese of New Orleans had their long-awaited day in court Tuesday, when they were given an opportunity to share the horrific stories of rape and molestation they suffered at the hands of local priests, deacons and nuns many years ago. In emotional statements on the stand in U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Meredith Grabill’s courtroom, nearly two dozen abuse survivors recounted in often graphic, gut-wrenching detail the physical, psychological
