Federal Troops to Be Deployed in Crime Reduction Push

In a move that is expected to draw national attention and local debate, President Donald Trump announced over the weekend that he will be sending federal troops to New Orleans as part of his administration’s broader campaign to crack down on crime across the country.

“We are taking action to restore law and order in America’s cities,” the president said, emphasizing that New Orleans will be among the first cities to receive federal reinforcements.

The deployment is part of the president’s ongoing strategy to take a “tough on crime” approach in areas experiencing persistent violence and criminal activity.

Ronnie Serpas to Discuss Deployment on Fox News

Former New Orleans Police Superintendent Ronnie Serpas is scheduled to appear on Fox News to discuss the situation live Sunday morning at 7:20 AM.

Serpas, a familiar name to many in Louisiana, is well known in Avoyelles Parish — his wife, Jill Roy, is a native of Mansura.

His appearance is expected to provide insight into what this federal move might mean for local law enforcement and how it could impact crime trends in New Orleans going forward.
