In 1979, a police strike in New Orleans canceled Mardi Gras from the top down... but Mardi Gras from the bottom up flourished. IMO one of the greatest Mardi Gras ever, along with 2006.

Gregory #Bovino has been removed from his role as #BorderPatrol “commander at large” & will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon, according to a #DHS official & 2 people with knowledge of the change.
Bovino’s sudden demotion is the clearest sign yet that the #Trump admin is reconsidering its most aggressive tactics after the killing Saturday of 37-year-old #AlexPretti by #CBP agents under Bovino’s command.
…Homeland Security Secretary #KristiNoem and her close adviser #CoreyLewandowski, who were Bovino’s biggest backers at #DHS, are also at risk of losing their jobs, two of the people said.
For the past 7 months, #Bovino has been the public face of a traveling #immigration crackdown on #cities governed by #Democrats. Noem & other #Trump officials gave Bovino the “commander” title & sent him & his masked #CBP agents to #Chicago, #Charlotte, #NewOrleans, & then #Minneapolis.
#Trump approves deployment of 350 #NationalGuard members to #NewOrleans

> Critics say deployment is unwarranted and could cause fear in the city, which has seen a decrease in violent crime rates

“If the goal was for them to come here and augment existing law enforcement, to pursue violent criminals or people with extensive criminal histories, why wouldn’t you be more transparent about who you’ve arrested and why?”
Morrell and other officials have said the crackdown appears to be a dragnet focused on people with brown skin, citing viral videos of encounters such as masked agents chasing a 23-year-old U.S. citizen returning home from the grocery store.

Big enough that I couldn't really take a photo that captures it. Haven't seen a protest this big here, including after the BP oil spill.
We're intentionally a bit removed from the center since we're here with kids.
