Lafayette resident Mahmoud Amin Ya'qub Al-Muhtadi is suspected of involvement in the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel.

The high court heard arguments on Wednesday regarding two combined lawsuits challenging the state’s congressional maps.

A federal district court had ordered a second black-majority congressional district be created in Louisiana after finding black voters were underrepresented.

In a high profile case, the court will consider whether a key provision of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional.

Plaintiffs say the judge’s ruling is narrow enough that the government can still impose a ban despite the court finding the law unconstitutional.

Trump reversed the ban after taking office.

Gov. Jeff Landry said there have been ‘elevated violent crime rates’ in Shreveport, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans.

California governor recently signed a new law to shield doctors from liability for sending abortion pills out of state.

The filing came as the court prepared to hear a challenge to Louisiana’s creation of a second black-majority congressional district.

Some governors and health officials have issued new orders.

The facility will house the ‘worst of the worst,’ said Secretary Kristi Noem. Nebraska’s ‘Cornhusker Clink’ and Indiana’s ‘Speedway Slammer’ will also be used.

The new filing comes as the high court prepares to rehear a challenge to Louisiana’s electoral map.

Louisiana has asked the appeals court to stay the ruling until the Supreme Court rules on a related federal redistricting case it will hear in October.

The oral arguments in the cases will be heard in October and November, the nation’s highest court announced.
