Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is requesting up to 1,000 National Guard troops to assist law enforcement in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport.
Landry, a Republican and ally of President Donald Trump, cited the success of federal partnerships in other cities, including Washington, Memphis, and Los Angeles, where troops have been deployed to assist local authorities. He said additional support would also be helpful during major events, such as Mardi Gras, to ensure public safety.
The request would cover troop deployments through the end of the fiscal year 2026.

The suspect, identified as Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, from the nearby town of Burton, was shot dead in a parking lot outside the building about eight minutes after the carnage began, police said.
