Orleans sheriff to stick with consent decree immigration policy in spite of new state law that makes refusing federal immigration orders a felony (lailluminator.com)

NEW ORLEANS – A controversial new state law that creates criminal penalties for local law enforcement officers who do not fully cooperate with federal immigration investigations is set to go into effect next month, putting the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office in a legal quagmire.

For more than a decade, under a legal settlement in a federal civil rights case, the sheriff’s office, which runs the New Orleans jail, has maintained a policy that places tight restrictions on how its employees can interact with federal immigration authorities.

But beginning on Aug. 1, under Act 399 of 2025, Orleans Parish deputies who follow that policy could be charged with committing a felony and face up to 10 years in prison. On the other hand, if the sheriff’s office goes against the policy and obeys the new state law, it risks violating a longstanding federal court settlement.

Bruce Reilly, deputy director of New Orleans criminal justice reform group Voice Of The Experienced, called the new law an example of government “overreach.”

“I think the legal question may be, ‘Can the state pass a law that forces people to be deputized by federal agencies?’” Reilly said.

yes, but the sub rules say you have to keep the same title as the article.

Yes, it "should" and can be altered, but if it misrepresents the article it will be deleted. It does not say "have to" it says "should".

Anyways, it doesn't matter, I'll probably get down voted for being technical and accurate with my words.

Thanks!

I guess I'm still used to reddit BS where it's like you have to walk on eggshells regarding the rules or risk getting permabanned

Correct. Automod will notify you if the headline is different (who cares?). If the title misrepresents the article it will be removed. The title would actually clarify the article, so it's fine.
