The New Orleans Police Department responded to the DHS statement with its own statement following the arrest of Temah:
Recent statements regarding Recruit Larry Temah are misleading. The New Orleans Police Department verified Mr. Temah’s employment eligibility through ICE’s E-Verify system prior to hiring and was never notified of any ICE detainer. New Orleans is not a sanctuary city, and NOPD does not control jail operations or detainer decisions, which fall under the Sheriff’s Office. Any claim that NOPD knowingly violated the law is false.
Officer Reese Harper (NOPD Director of Communications)
If ONLY there was SOMETHING Cops could do to People who Break the Law! OH WELL! Go abduct ANOTHER Office ICE!
“ICE arrests black man for existing while black.” There, fixed the headline.
“Excuse me sir, do you have any idea how Black you were driving just now?”
“Considering that has been the fifth time today and we haven’t hit noon. I would say very black.”
It’s a pig-eat-pig world out there.
Dogs as always, are good boys.
Is it “pig-eat-pig world”? I always thought it was “piggy pig world”.
I can’t tell if you’re legitimately asking or if this is a reference/quote
It’s just a dumb joke, playing on “dog-eat-dog world” sometimes being misheard as “doggy dog world”.
Modern family
and this little piggy doesn’t get to go home
Real brave of New Orleans PR putting out a statement defending themselves while completely ignoring their officer. No mention of their confidence in him - or denying that he’s a “Criminal illegal alien having no place in our community.” Fucking pussies.
It’s the South. I’m surprised they said anything about the incident at all.
Call the police union and see how little fucks they give
ACAB.
Welp. I guess we’re addressing the police problem? We did it?
In case you fail to read the article or statement above, they claim to have used ICEs own system to verify his eligibility. the incompetency has no bounds.
It’s not incompetency. Incompetency assumes you tried in good faith to do something the right way.
What ICE is doing is just trying to piss people off enough to be scared for their lives. They ARE accomplishing that task.
Did they cross reference this guys identity, and verify he was a citizen? No, but that was never their intent.
They aren’t incompetent. They’re malicious. Intentionally evil.
They held of the skin color swatch and determined he was in the “Arrest and deport” range. That’s all they feel they need.
Well going for a cop isn’t going to help them is it? If the cops and ICE end up shooting each other I think most people will consider that to be a fairly acceptable outcome.
And likely part of the grand plan. This only stokes the flames of civil unrest so some authoritarian fascist can blindly enact marshall law
*martial law
ICEs own system
thier eligibity is just a skin color card, like in family guy how to identify non-whites.
Funny, cause there literally isn’t a database of citizens so whatever they are using is some janky homegrown palantir bullshit.
I’m really conflicted on this one.
An enemy of an enemy is not always a friend.
Ice will just arrest all the POCs and lefties (for a cop) off the local PDs. Then all that will be left are the good-old-boys.
But never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake.
This probably should have been “New Orleans cop arrests ICE and calling them illegal” to see what the response would be to that.
I understand black communities need black, local cops, but I’ll never understand a person of color choosing to be a cop. The institution literally starts as slave catchers.
Kids grow up wanting to make a difference as cops like every other emergency service.
No one is immune to copaganda
Policing is a necessary function of civil society. We need good cops and good law enforcement policy. ICE is not that.
Crazy how civilization managed for literally thousands of years without cops
They also managed without medicine. And a lot of people died.
Just because there is an undeniable police problem I wouldn’t want to go back to vigilantes taking revenge by cutting people’s ears off or something.
I think if we get together, we can come up with other solutions beyond vigilante justice and a protected class who hold a monopoly on state-endorsed violence. No, the police have got to go, man.
Fuck the police.
I want well-regulated militias pls
The institution literally starts as slave catchers.
Let’s not forget the strike busting, worker beating historical elements.

What timeline is this. Wtf
Kidnapping a police officer is a bold move. In the interest of compliance with rules, I sincerely hope that this trend of LARPer vs. LEO will not continue until there is a predictable and unfunny consequence.
You know what, in person I have a hard time being nasty even to people who are acting shitty… but this is the internet and I have a cold too so I’m feeling very detatched so fuck it, I look forward to the first full on shootout between cops and ice, fuck em both.
No matter who loses, we’ll all win
Type vibes.
I literally said this yesterday, after watching the Police intervene in the illegal arrest of a Meidas reporter.
I’m waiting for a shoot out between ICE and Police and scrolled and found this article.
I love you like this. Hope you get better soon though. But keep that fire!
Sooo fucking funny. ACAB anyway, so no problems there, let them fight each other
Yeah somehow I’m totally fine with this. Fuck them both
