As President Donald Trump prepares to deny entry to immigrants and funding to cities he believes are harboring criminals living in the country illegally, Mayor Mitch Landrieu says New Orleans has complied with federal law and isn't in danger of losing federal funds. Landrieu also said the New Orleans Police Department "will not be coerced into joining Trump?s deportation army" via a deputized Homeland Security force.

Trump's*executive orders likely will make "sanctuary cities" ineligible to receive federal grants, and the administration*plans to publish, on a weekly basis, "a comprehensive list of criminal actions" allegedly committed by immigrants.

"The NOPD is focused on arresting those who commit violent crimes, not enforcing civil immigration laws," Landrieu said in a statement.?
