The Louisiana Department of Justice has completed its report on the 2025 New Year’s Day terrorist attack in New Orleans and is currently in conversations with the city and our other law enforcement partners in preparation for January 1 and Mardi Gras. Due to the sensitive security nature of the report, we will release its findings in the near future, as appropriate. I continue to be encouraged by the federal, state, and local collaborative focus on making sure that the city is safe this holiday season and into the new year.

I recommend that Superintendent Kirkpatrick immediately direct NOPD officers and staff to fully cooperate with @ICEgov and @CBP. Because we have a common interest in the safety and security of all New Orleans residents, I look forward to working with her and @NOPDNews to ensure its policies and actions comply with state law.

And just minutes ago, the @ACLUofLouisiana voluntarily dismissed its suit after it became clear in a court hearing yesterday that the suit was utterly frivolous. #lalege

I was proud to negotiate the infrastructure bill to secure this $1.36 BILLION in funding for Louisiana. Access to high-speed internet is essential for every small business owner, student, and worker. I am grateful to President Trump for his work to get it moving.

I’m calling on @LSU to honor the legacy of Charlie Kirk by putting up a statue of him on campus.
There is no better warrior for free speech than Charlie Kirk, and we must continue his legacy on every campus in America. 🇺🇸

✅ The U.S. House under Speaker Mike Johnson has acted.
✅ Louisiana Senators have voted to reopen the government.
❌ The U.S. Senate, led by Democrat Chuck Schumer, is holding it up.
Louisianans — call on Chuck Schumer to act now and reopen the government! gov.louisiana.gov/page/dcshu…

Today, the flags of the United States and Louisiana will fly at half-staff in honor of Deputy Charles William Riley who tragically lost his life in the line of duty.
May he rest in eternal peace.

After waking up this morning to footage of the Smitty Supply site, I immediately contacted @EPA, @louisiana_deq, and @LDNR.
We are pushing to fast-track the cleanup of that site. Change is coming, and it's long overdue. It’s what folks in Tangipahoa deserve.
