Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said on Tuesday that guard members, as they have in other deployments in large cities, will be tasked with supporting federal law enforcement partners, including the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security. Parnell added that the national guard troops will be deployed through February. Louisiana's governor, Jeff Landry, a Republican, praised Donald Trump and the US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, for coordinating the deployment and predicted the guard's presence would have a positive impact.

I have visited all 50 states, but when I think about the city that I find the most dynamic, New Orleans rises to the top. It's magical. I've been to New Orleans a few times - to see friends, immerse myself in its culture, and attend a conference. But ultimately, my love for the city rests on three pillars: its character, spirit, and cuisine.

Is a teeny tiny po'boy that holds a single oyster. a little bit ridiculous? Yes and is it delicious? That too. I think maybe I forgot fine dining can be all of these things at once until I went to Emeril's in New Orleans. You might associate Emeril's with the famous first name-only celebrity chef who opened it in 1990, but the restaurant was recently taken over by his son.

The noise level should land somewhere between monastical library and busy restaurant. There needs to be food, and it should be well-executed. The coffee itself should be solid, but I need some reasonable un-caffeinated options, too. I'm usually on the run, so easy parking matters. Be smart: These are businesses, so if you plan to hang around for long, make sure your order justifies use of the table and tip more generously than usual.

This was my fourth time traveling to New Orleans for Tales of the Cocktail, and there are a few very important things I look for when choosing a hotel for that event. First of all, it has to be close - but not too close - to the French Quarter, where a lot of the Tales action goes down. I want to be within walking distance of events so the swampy July heat doesn't kill me, but I also want a quiet locale to go back to after the day's festivities are done. A location in NOLA's Warehouse District ticks this box perfectly.

It's only the fifty-fourth largest city in the United States-down from fifth largest two hundred years ago-but it occupies a much larger place in the national mind than, say, Arlington, Texas, or Mesa, Arizona, where more people live. There's the food, the neighborhoods, the music, the historic architecture, the Mississippi River, Mardi Gras. But the love for New Orleans stands in contrast to the story that cold, rational statistics tell.

A few months after Hurricane Katrina struck Louisiana in August 2005, Jenna Jordan went on a search for other queer women. She was looking for camaraderie with people like herself who had returned to New Orleans after the storm. Some neighborhoods with sizable gay populations such as the French Quarter were largely spared from flooding, but areas with queer people of color and lesbians, such as Mid-City, weren't as fortunate.

"I was so against charter schools. I thought it was the pits," says Mary Haynes-Smith, the school's longtime principal. Haynes-Smith didn't like what she'd heard from parents that they felt shut out by the private organizations hired to run the charter schools. But as New Orleans crept closer to becoming the country's first all-charter system in the 2010s, the handful of traditional schools left, including Bethune Elementary, started feeling more pressure. "It was a forceful thing," she remembers.

"We wanted to highlight the tin ceiling, and close-to-original wood floors, while bringing in some of our design elements," Congregation Coffee's new owner, Patrick Brennan, told DCN.
