New Orleans is not a sanctuary city, Mayor Landrieu says
The city has been compliant all along

Earlier this week U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions released a memo that redefined noncompliant sanctuary cities. Earlier this year, the Trump administration warned several cities that if they did not comply with January’s immigration executive order, city governments can face reduction of federal funding.
Released this past Monday, a memo from Sessions narrowed the definition of noncompliant sanctuary jurisdictions as cities that “willfully refuse to comply” with the federal government. Sessions also clarified the consequences of noncompliance, stating cities may lose federal grants only from the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland security.
