Kenner’s Immigration Pact Under Fire | New Orleans News

In Kenner, Louisiana, immigration officers detained two individuals near the airport, sparking local concern as Kenner PD — long partnered with ICE under a 287(g) agreement — takes the lead.

Across Louisiana and nationwide, similar partnerships are growing, raising questions about federal priorities and their impact on immigrant communities.
