No more sanctuary city?: Immigrants who cross the border illegally and settle in New Orleans could be ejected under a bill the state Senate passed this week, James Finn reports. The bill bars New Orleans and other parishes from enacting so-called 'sanctuary' policies. The Classic is back: The Crescent City Classic is on the rebound, Jeff Duncan opines. Entries for the Gulf Coast's premier road race, a 10K set for Saturday, are up. The race will feature staggered starts and shuttle buses. See more details. Lawsuit tossed: A federal judge this week tossed a lawsuit that the ex-chief of New Orleans' youth jail filed against the city's Inspector General, Joey Cranney reports. The suit claimed the IG's scathing investigation was misleading. Pels win!: If you missed last night's home game in the Smoothie King Center, the Pelicans cruised to victory against the Milwaukee Bucks, improving New Orleans 45-28. Nine regular season games remain, Christian Clark writes. Thanks for reading Lunch Line. If you're not a subscriber to The Times-Picayune, check out this great offer. Cheers, Jessica |
