Description
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry announced that armed National Guard troops will be deployed to patrol New Orleans alongside police and state troopers.
The move comes despite the city reporting some of the lowest violent crime rates in decades. Critics question the need for soldiers on the streets, while others say more deterrence is welcome.
Tourists share mixed reactions, with some praising the move for safety and others worrying about the city’s image.
