New Orleans human trafficking task force adds manpower for Super Bowl
SUMMARY: As New Orleans prepares for the Super Bowl, law enforcement is alerting the public to increased risks of human trafficking, a concern that heightens during major sporting events. Historically, such events have seen trafficking busts, prompting a significant law enforcement presence involving local, state, and FBI resources. The Eden Center, a nonprofit supporting survivors, has provided law enforcement with training on trafficking indicators. In 2023, over 1,700 people were served in trafficking cases, highlighting the importance of awareness and reporting. Authorities also plan to implement similar safety measures during Mardi Gras. Public vigilance is urged, with a hotline available for reporting suspicious activity.

SUMMARY: Federal funding for high-speed internet in Louisiana is uncertain following President Trump’s 13-day pause on federal grant spending. The state was set to receive $1.3 billion for broadband development, aimed at increasing access for 140,000 customers. Local Broadband companies, like Northeast Louisiana Power Cooperative, are eager to enhance internet services in rural areas.
