**New Orleans, LA** – A horrific car-ramming attack in New Orleans’ French Quarter on New Year’s Eve left at least 15 people dead and 35 injured, prompting a renewed debate over immigration and crime. The incident, which occurred during a crowded New Year’s Eve celebration featuring an open-air concert and festivities geared towards college football fans attending the Sugar Bowl, is being investigated by the FBI as an act of terrorism. The attacker was killed by law enforcement.
President Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social, attributed the attack to his warnings about criminal migration being dismissed by Democrats and the media. He claimed that the criminals entering the US are “far worse than the criminals we have in our country” and that the current crime rate is unprecedented. He offered condolences to the victims and pledged the support of his administration to the city of New Orleans.
President Joe Biden also issued a statement expressing his condolences to the victims and their families, condemning the violence and assuring the nation that such attacks will not be tolerated.
The FBI has confirmed that the investigation is underway, and further details are expected to be released as the investigation progresses. The incident casts a shadow over the New Year’s celebrations and has reignited the contentious national conversation surrounding immigration and its potential link to crime.
