Donald Trump announced that National Guard troops will be deployed to New Orleans as part of a federal initiative linked to an immigration enforcement operation called "Swamp Sweep," with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry expecting the troops to arrive before Christmas.Incoming New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno criticized the National Guard’s presence due to concerns about rights violations, while Representative Troy Carter described the move as a "political stunt" and outgoing Mayor LaToya Cantrell welcomed federal cooperation for public safety.
