Kenner and Esplanade Mall owners strike a deal: the mall must clean up and boost security, while the city waives hefty fines. Negotiations were private, with legal teams involved, and a cleanup timeline is expected within days.

2026/08/29

New Orleans residents are furious as the city considers doubling trash pickup fees to restore biweekly service—something they’ll likely never see again. After Hurricane Ida slashed pickups to once a week in 2021, officials now propose an $8.25 monthly charge to cover costs, even as the current $24 fee hasn’t changed since 2011. Critics call it a “screw-up,” while sanitation leaders argue weekly is sufficient—and if they go back to twice a week, contractors won’t be ready until 2028 and prices

As Hurricane Katrina’s 21st anniversary loomed, a prayer service in New Orleans honored the immigrant workers who rebuilt the city — half of the reconstruction crew. But today, many of those same communities face deportation, a cruel reversal from the welcome they once received.

2026/08/29

For months, Fig Street residents in Hollygrove have endured a nightmare: a gaping hole spewing raw sewage right outside their homes. Backups started in June, leading to a broken pipe and promises from the Sewerage and Water Board that repairs would come “in a few weeks”—a promise that’s gone cold. Rain turns the mess into a flood, health hazards multiply, and vulnerable neighbors—including a breast cancer survivor—face real danger from toxic fumes. Frustration mounts as temporary fixes vanish

The jury’s about to deliver a verdict in a high-stakes murder trial where two men, Sean Alfortish and Leon Parker, face charges for allegedly killing federal witness Cornelius Garrison.

A federal murder-for-hire trial in New Orleans is reaching its climax as former attorney Sean Alfortish and Leon Parker face charges for allegedly hiring a hit on Cornelius Garrison, an FBI informant shot dead in 2020. Prosecutors built a three-week case using phone records, bank logs, and texts—like Parker’s “Game on, who dat” message to Ryan Harris—claiming they proved Parker was ready to kill.

Milo Yiannopoulos, the UK-born Ye associate, was arrested at New Orleans airport for overstaying his visa — a move that’s now forcing him into deportation after an immigration judge ordered his exit back in July. Despite entering legally in 2019, he ignored the deadline and is now being held while authorities prepare to send him home.
