A temporary homeless shelter in Gentilly launched under Gov. Jeff Landry's plan to solve New Orleans’ homelessness crisis had taken in over 100 residents by Thursday, while others passed on a bed there amid questions about its condition and services.

Cantrell said during an FBI press conference that a “tactical expert” will map out the city’s vulnerabilities and provide advice on how to secure them. The review will occur over the next week, she said,

But as people braced to move, confusion and anxiety spread Tuesday through homeless encampments like the one on Earhart Boulevard beneath the U.S. 90 overpass — the very site where the Landry administration relocated people after a set of similar sweeps before a Taylor Swift concert series last year.

Louisiana's highest court has overturned a Civil District Court judge's decision to order Republican Gov. Jeff Landry's administration to stop clearing homeless encampments without notice in New Orleans ahead of tourist events.

The FBI provided updates on their investigation, while Cantrell and Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick requested a tactical expert to identify and secure vulnerable areas.

Housing advocates say the $16 million for Governor Landry's transitional center would have been better spent by funding existing housing initiatives.

The shelter is expected to open by Wednesday, when state authorities are planning encampment sweeps. Notices were being posted at encampments on Monday, warning that failure to relocate to the new shelter “may result in enforcement action or legal proceedings.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell's administration has joined Attorney General Liz Murrill in asking a federal judge to rule on a motion to end the long-running consent decree over the city's police force.

"Our mission remains on increased public safety," Mayor LaToya Cantrell said. "As we move towards hosting major events in the City of New Orleans."

The location and opening of the shelter will be announced next week, according to businessman Shane Guidry, an unofficial proxy for Landry on certain matters affecting New Orleans.
