Governor Jeff Landry sees this as a scalable model, starting in New Orleans and expanding to cities like Baton Rouge. Federal prosecutors will decide which cases to take, prioritizing speed, severity, and sentencing potential, while federal involvement also helps clear local courts and brings in extra resources. Meanwhile, Baton Rouge is set to receive over $1 million from Homeland Security to upgrade its police headquarters, which will soon house a dedicated task force targeting gangs in the city.
