Moving the lemm.ee State Level Doge community here and giving it a broader name.

The lemm.ee community was originally created to track the "DOGE task forces" which popped up across multiple states in the U.S. once Trump took office in 2025, but is meant to be a place for anyone, anywhere to share and discuss any corruption they notice happening at a local/community level.

NEW ORLEANS – A controversial new state law that creates criminal penalties for local law enforcement officers who do not fully cooperate with federal immigration investigations is set to go into effect next month, putting the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office in a legal quagmire.

For more than a decade, under a legal settlement in a federal civil rights case, the sheriff’s office, which runs the New Orleans jail, has maintained a policy that places tight restrictions on how its employees can interact with federal immigration authorities.

But beginning on Aug. 1, under Act 399 of 2025, Orleans Parish deputies who follow that policy could be charged with committing a felony and face up to 10 years in prison. On the other hand, if the sheriff’s office goes against the policy and obeys the new state law, it risks violating a longstanding federal court settlement.
