AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Louisiana Supreme Court & voting-rights fight: The U.S. Supreme Court’s civil-rights term included a major blow to federal voting-rights protections while preserving birthright citizenship, and Louisiana’s own election-law battles are still heating up as lawmakers push voter ID and citizenship proof measures. AG Liz Murrill legal saga: Louisiana’s top court has paused or recalled parts of Attorney General Liz Murrill’s indictment process, keeping the feud between state and New Orleans officials in the spotlight. Public safety in Baton Rouge area: Shreveport saw a deadly officer-involved shooting after a fight near the Sand Bar; Louisiana State Police took over the investigation. Local courts & representation: Louisiana Supreme Court appointed the first Black judge to the Lafayette City Court, a historic move tied to a judge pro tempore role. Community & culture: New Orleans marked America’s 250th with major events and fireworks, while Tulane’s athletics department posted its best Directors’ Cup finish in 21 years. Weather: Storm chances return Sunday into Monday/Tuesday, with heavy rain and gusty winds possible.
