Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry Launches 'Louisiana Lockup' Migrant Detainment Center

Launch of Louisiana Lockup

• 🚀 Louisiana Lockup is a new facility designed to detain "the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens."
• 🤝 The launch was attended by Secretary Gnome, General Bondi, and Deputy Director Sheihan, highlighting a strong partnership to enhance safety in America and Louisiana.
• 🛠️ The facility, formerly Camp J at Angola, was repaired and repurposed to house disruptive prisoners and fulfill the mission of removing criminal illegal aliens.

Border Policies and Crime

• ⚠️ Governor Landry criticizes former President Obama and President Biden's open border policies, stating they have led to increased crime and destruction.
• 💔 The opioid epidemic is cited as a direct consequence, costing America 100,000 lives annually due to the influx of poisonous materials.
• ⚖️ The governor emphasizes that America is a country of laws, not of individuals choosing which laws to execute.

Purpose and Capacity

• 🔒 The facility aims to prevent criminal illegal aliens, including gang members and rapists, from continuing their activities within the general civil population.
• 📈 By mid-September, the camp will hold 51 individuals, with a capacity to house over 400 in the coming months.

Addressing Media and Victims

• 🗣️ Governor Landry anticipates media attempts to portray the detainees as victims, contrasting this with the real victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants.
• 💔 Examples of victims include a young boy molested by an illegal immigrant from Honduras, a kidnapped and raped 13-year-old girl, and a TV producer killed by a reckless illegal driver.
• 🏡 The governor uses the analogy of a house needing a front door to stress the importance of borders for national security and community well-being.

Commitment to Safety
