Immigration advocates say new mega master hearings, which often include more than 100 people, are designed to force immigrants to go through complex proceedings without legal representation, likely leading to more deportations. https://t.co/IYhboAPdsu
Sarah T. Reed High School’s historic home is closing, and while the name will live on, students are scattering to schools across the city. The school’s band, which spent years rebuilding its program, is also splitting up. https://t.co/31gD3p4mrZ
Housing affordability is a serious and persistent issue across neighborhoods, incomes, and age groups in Orleans Parish and across the state. https://t.co/VvZNnLQ9T8

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

At a press conference about the freezing temperatures/bad weather, @LAGovJeffLandry declined to answer two media questions about immigration. One about the status of Catahoula Crunch. A second about whether he agrees with the @NatlGovsAssoc "reset" statement. See below. #lalege
Located in the Lower 9th Ward, the Fred Hampton Free Store is part free thrift store, part over-the-counter pharmacy, part punk show venue. https://t.co/w1o5hIy5Od

According to new legislation, law enforcement officers who don’t comply with immigration authorities like ICE could face criminal charges. Today on @LAConsidered, @bmisick tells us how this will impact local jailers, the Orleans Parish Sheriff, and Louisiana residents.

BREAKING: New lawsuit filed by Mahmoud Khalil and multiple students towards Columbia University and Barnard College. This lawsuit accuses Columbia of illegally sharing student discipline records with Congress and other third parties.
An undocumented family in Louisiana, low on ICE's stated priorities, said they were lured to a meeting w/ promises of "good news" flown to TX & deported all under 36 hrs. The 'ruses' that ICE and its contractor used to get them into custody are legal.
