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)

        Cops aren’t workers though. They’re the enforcers of the capitalists. They have never been there for the workers.

      I’ll just wave my boner. I sure wish I could practice law in New Orleans. One thing kept me from passing the bar exam in the state of Mississippi. That thing is integrity.

        Still not sure if you’re serious, but using “boner” instead of “bono” as a legal term might have something to do with not passing the BAR.

          Not serious. I chose to not attend U of Mississippi and follow in the family tradition & practice of law. It was ingrained that path was to be my fate. I would have had many guides keeping on track and in line.

          Instead, I bucked the normal trend and decided to educate myself by jumping on the last several years of Grateful Dead tours. When that came to an end I was studying sound engineering in Vermont. It was then that this local band named Phish picked up the slack for all the disenfranchised tour heads.

          I am not serious most of the time. I did not become an attorney nor are there any plans in the future to do so.
