Issues: Federal, State and Local Relations Immigration

Today, Congresswoman Julia Letlow (LA-05) released the following statement in response to reports of ICE detainees being released in Louisiana:

"I am deeply troubled by the numerous reports of immigration detainees being released at facilities both here in the Fifth District and across the state. I am outraged that neither Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the Department of Homeland Security notified my office of these releases and neglected to inform other relevant federal, state and local officials. I join my fellow members of the Louisiana delegation in demanding a thorough and complete explanation of this situation and urge the Administration to stop these releases immediately."
