NOPD policy now directs officers to remand people with “detainers” — alerts issued when someone has an outstanding federal warrant or immigration violation — to federal custody if the local jail won’t hold them. The policy also strips out past language affirming that enforcement of civil immigration laws falls solely to federal law enforcement. And it removes prohibitions on officers sharing a broad range of data with federal immigration agents, according to immigration lawyers who reviewed the changes.
New text of the NOPD Policy Manual: In the event a detained individual is discovered to be subject to a Facially Sufficient detainer, officers should treat the incident as a signal 17F – fugitive attachment and take appropriate steps to transfer the custody of that individual to the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office. If the individual is refused by OPSO, a supervisor shall contact command desk for further instructions. (Transferring Custody of an NOPD Prisoner to an Outside Agency is governed by Chapter 71.1 Prisoner Transportation and Guarding.)
Judge Perez Drive is a major, four-lane thoroughfare located in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. The road was originally named Goodchildren Drive, but was renamed in November 1969 for former political boss of St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes, Judge Leander Perez (died March 1969). However, in the late 1990s, St. Bernard officials chose to distance themselves from Leander Perez's segregationist legacy. They dedicated Judge Perez Drive to the memory of Melvyn Perez, a long-time judge in St. Bernard—thus distancing the Parish from Leander Perez's controversial legacy without the expense of changing the signs labeled "Judge Perez Drive". However, the term "Judge Perez" is still most frequently associated with Leander Perez in the area.

At a Jan. 1 news conference, NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick noted emphatically that Jabbar had driven his truck up on the sidewalk, claiming he “got around the hard target, where we had a car there, we had barriers there.” Surveillance video from the outside of the Krystal restaurant at 116 Bourbon St., 150 feet from Canal Street, shows that while Jabbar did indeed squeeze around a NOPD vehicle by steering onto the sidewalk, he then drove directly over the lowered MP5000 gate.
