New Orleans is experiencing multiple issues, including airport delays, water infrastructure failures, and a shrinking bank balance. The Trump administration deployed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport to bolster TSA efforts. Over 40% of Transportation Security Administration agents called out sick due to a partial federal shutdown, leading to the highest percentage in a DHS breakdown of major airports. The airport's security lines were backed up into the garage, causing many passengers to miss flights. It is unclear what ICE's role will be at MSY or how long agents will be here. Meanwhile, New Orleans recently had another water main break. The city could run out of cash as early as next month unless more cost-cutting and revenue measures are implemented.
