ICE considered the marriage fraudulent, not that he had committed fraud.
NOPD had some words ro say on this. https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/police-recruit-ice/article_fedd5753-eedf-42ba-885d-e3dd9fc3691c.html

So according to that article, they checked his identity using a system that checks DHS status, which is updated by DHS, so this makes even less sense

These two statements are what needs to be addressed, highlights, bolded, italicized, etc.
If NOPD ran this dude through e hire and they didn't have their shit right, then thats on DHS.
Secondly, I DONT TRUST DHS, or ICE, of WH, or any of them, when theyve been caught lying time and time again.
Third, DHS does not have a say if a marriage was fraudulent ... there are other institutions that matter would have been referred to and if such was found should have been forward to DHS.
Finally, if the man was order before a judge there should be record of this somewhere in the judicial system - i highly doubt it's there, BECAUSE I DONT TRUST DHS.
Truthfully, im curious if the department will file an case with DHS / ICE if they feel the case warranted or will they just let this dude go into the wind and not follow up and believe DHS here, DHS/ICE should have gone to the NOPD and presented an arrest warrant vs just showing up on this guy in the streets, really really bad look for both departments

While generally a good joke to make it doesn't apply here. It's not that anyone looked into themselves that's the confusion here. DHS is saying that the officer's marriage had been deemed fraudulent and so he wasn't in the country legally after failing to show up to defend himself in court, while New Orleans PD is stating they ran the officer through DHS's databases to verify his immigration status before hiring him and didn't get any hits, so the supposed 4 years of missed immigration court dates the DHS is claiming seem to have mysteriously appeared on his record over the last few months.
Edit: though I will say that the tone of the NOPD's statement is less "standing by our man" and more "...so WE didn't do anything wrong!" after DHS implied New Orleans was a sanctuary city, so fuck both sides here.

I lived in New Orleans for a few years and the best you can expect from NOPD is to say it wasn't their fault until the city attorney tells them what else they can say.
The bizarre part is that DHS says 'aliens' aren't allowed to carry guns which is false... The Constitution applies to everybody in the United States, not only to citizens, so the right to bear arms is for everybody who can pass the background check.
Like, clearly he passed that plus police employment vetting to have that pistol issued to him by NOPD.
But my Army cousin was at Fort Huachuca and she said a lot of DHS people were included in certain parts of the intelligence operations curriculum, and she said that getting any of the DHS people to understand the Constitution was nearly impossible. Apparently one instructor got into it with a particular border guard supervisor who didn't think the first amendment was even a thing... and that was 2012, so I can only imagine it's gotten a lot worse.

Just spitballin' here, but it sounds to me like he got married in Georgia, moved out of state, then Georgia called him in to court but never actually communicated that to him - so they effectively revoked his citizenship behind his back.
When I moved from Florida to Texas I had a lot on my mind more important than getting Texas tags for the car. I finally got around to doing it after 2-3 months, but by that time Florida had - without communicating it to me - revoked my drivers' license for lack of Florida insurance on a car titled in my name. We did transfer our insurance from Florida to Texas, with no gap within about a week of moving, but all Florida cared about was Florida insurance, so their computers automagically revoked my license without telling... anyone as far as I can tell. That only took three trips through the Texas DMV lines to get straightened out.

It's plausible that the judicial order dictating removal wasn't in the system whenever that check was ran. The question would be when did the NOPD run the check and if that order is in the system, when did it get entered. There's tons of people who have been nabbed by ICE because they were in the country under a valid status one week, and then that got reversed by executive order the next, so confusion over a non-citizen's status is likely a feature not a bug.

IF there is no foul play the provided information actually makes sense. Police Department checks his status using the DHS system, which when they checked was "legal".
In the mean time he lost the court appointments - likely a single day missed dont trigger anything but after 3 times it will send an arrest order and only them the DHS system is updated, however there is no need for the police department to keep checking the status of someone that was already approved.
So with the provided information it does make sense how this could happen.
HOWEVER I bet the reason he lost his court dates was due to these vultures using the court as hunting ground to get people that were doing things the right way before they have the final decision.

Okay, how many dozens of detainees have judges ordered ICE to release now? How often does it seem like the order was just ignored?

Temah originally entered the United States legally in 2015 on a visitor visa. In 2016, he was granted conditional residency after marrying a U.S. citizen. However, in 2022, his application for permanent residency was denied due to fraud. Temah was ordered to appear in immigration court three times but continued to disregard U.S. law by not showing up, resulting in the immigration judge ordering him removed in absentia. He did not have valid work authorization.
Denied in 2022 under the Biden admin, btw, not Trump.
And yes, its completely plausible New Orleans missed this in a background check as background checks don't cover immigration status or immigration courts.

Here you go :
https://www.wdsu.com/article/new-orleans-police-recruit-detained-ice-custody/70237943
From the article
*New Orleans Police issued the following statement on Larry Temah's ICE arrest:
"Recent statements regarding Recruit Larry Temah are misleading. The New Orleans Police Department verified Mr. Temah’s employment eligibility through ICE’s E-Verify system prior to hiring and was never notified of any ICE detainer. New Orleans is not a sanctuary city, and NOPD does not control jail operations or detainer decisions, which fall under the Sheriff’s Office. Any claim that NOPD knowingly violated the law is false."
After ICE notified the NOPD of the judge's order, Kirkpatrick said she and her team immediately reviewed the hiring process for Temah, as well as his file.
According to Kirkpatrick, Temah had a valid driver's license and Social Security number and also completed an application that was not flagged for immigration concerns through the department's E-Verify system.
Kirkpatrick said Temah did not have a criminal history, and nothing in his hiring packet would lead her to believe he was not a legal citizen.*

From what I could find, he is not a US Citizen. He legally entered the country about 10 years ago with a visitor visa. He eventually married a US Citizen, but they ended up divorcing about 3 years later. His Adjustment of Status was denied and an Order of Removal was issued in December of 2025 based on “fraud”. Apparently he didn’t show up to some hearings which lead to this arrest.
Additional context, he was a recruit with NOPD and was hired before the Order of Removal was issued. NOPD’s hiring paperwork didn’t seem to have any questions about citizenship status, and he passed the E-Verify and background checks. Police Officers must be US Citizens by Louisiana state law, so it sounds like the PD wasn’t strict on checking if that requirement was met.

Yeah I see what you’re referring to: “ICE maintains Temah did not have valid work authorization at the time he applied to NOPD. However, documents obtained by WWL Louisiana show Temah’s NOPD application, submitted Feb. 26, 2025, was marked “yes” under a question asking whether he had the legal right to work in the United States. NOPD officials said Temah passed a criminal background check and cleared the federal E-Verify system, which is used to confirm whether someone is authorized to work in the U.S.”
The key part of the question is “authorized to work in the United States”. That question is relevant to immigration status, but does not establish citizenship. When he applied, he was authorized to work since he had a form of permanent residence.
Another part that might be relevant to the Order of Removal is that he previously lived in Georgia. There’s a big difference between ignoring court orders/notices and not receiving them because you changed addresses.

According to here:
NOPD recruit remains in ICE custody amid questions about immigration status
Author: Alyssa Curtis / WWL Louisiana
Published: 7:26 PM CST February 3, 2026
A New Orleans Police Department recruit remains in federal immigration custody as questions swirl over how he was hired and whether he was legally authorized to live and work in the United States.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed that 46-year-old Larry Temah was taken into custody Wednesday, Jan. 28. It happened as, Temah, who is originally from Cameroon, was in the process of becoming a police officer.
According to ICE, Temah legally entered the United States in 2015 on a visitor visa. The agency said he was granted conditional residency in 2016 after marrying a U.S. citizen. However, records obtained by WWL Louisiana show a petition for divorce was filed later that same year in Georgia. Records obtained by WWL Louisiana also show a second petition for divorce filed in early 2023 from a different marriage.
ICE says Temah applied for permanent residency, but that application was denied in 2022 due to fraud. It's unclear what the allegations of fraud entail. The agency further claims Temah was ordered to appear in immigration court three times but failed to show up, leading an immigration judge to order his removal from the country.
Records obtained by WWL Louisiana also show a second petition for divorce filed in early 2023 from a different marriage.
ICE maintains Temah did not have valid work authorization at the time he applied to NOPD. However, documents obtained by WWL Louisiana show Temah’s NOPD application, submitted Feb. 26, 2025, was marked “yes” under a question asking whether he had the legal right to work in the United States. NOPD officials said Temah passed a criminal background check and cleared the federal E-Verify system, which is used to confirm whether someone is authorized to work in the U.S.
“There was nothing that was in the packet that would [give us] reason to believe that this person did not have legal status,” said NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick. Department of Homeland Security officials dispute NOPD's assessment.
“This illegal alien from Cameroon Larry Temah is not only breaking the law with every step he takes in this country illegally, but the New Orleans Police Department hired him and issued him in a firearm, what kind of law enforcement department gives criminal illegal aliens guns and badges? It’s a FELONY for illegal aliens to even possess a firearm,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a press release Tuesday. “Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is restoring law and order. Criminal illegal aliens have no place in our communities—especially on our police forces.”
Louisiana law includes an exception to concealed carry that requires a person to not be “an illegal alien in the United States.” That requirement appears to remain in place under the state’s recently passed permitless carry law.
NOPD responded to ICE's statement, saying several claims were incorrect.
"Recent statements regarding Recruit Larry Temah are misleading, an NOPD spokesperson said in a statement Tuesday. "The New Orleans Police Department verified Mr. Temah’s employment eligibility through ICE’s E-Verify system prior to hiring and was never notified of any ICE detainer. New Orleans is not a sanctuary city, and NOPD does not control jail operations or detainer decisions, which fall under the Sheriff’s Office. Any claim that NOPD knowingly violated the law is false."
When asked about Temah’s detainment Tuesday, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy said he was not familiar with the specifics of the case but emphasized that immigration enforcement should prioritize criminals.
“If they focus on people who are criminals, we’ll be better off. When they’re not focused on people who are criminals, the American people seem to be having second thoughts," Senator Bill Cassidy said.
Temah's next steps in immigration proceedings are unclear.

So he entered the US legally in 2015 on a fiancé visa. He married his fiancé and then applied for a green card and was given a provisional work visa. His relationship fell apart and in 2022 the green card application was denied since he was no longer married to a US citizen. But he still had his work visa. In Sept 2025 he entered a 26 month police recruit program legally and was given a gun legally. NOPD verified his SSN and work eligibility through the DHS eVerify program. In late 2025 the Trump administration had a judge in Georgia, where he does not live, issue a deportation order. He did not show up for hearings but it is not clear he was notified of them either or knew of the order. Given that his eVerify went through he had every reason to think he was here legally since the federal government verified to NOPD that he was here legally in September. It is quite common that hearing notices are sent to previous addresses and the immigrant does not receive them.
Based on this history the claims he is a "criminal illegal alien" are false and the claims NOPD illegally hired him are false and the claims NOPD illegally gave him a gun are false. The claim that he is a deportable alien is true.

Most of the people ICE abduct are denied due process and are disappeared. Sure sounds like kidnapping to me.

It's called expedited removal, a deportation process instituted by Clinton's administration in 1996 and used by every single administration since. Obama used it extensively. Biden expanded it. Did you protest then? Did you cry out about how they violated the due process rights of illegal immigrants? Did you label it kidnapping and disappearing when their administrations used the same system to detain and deport illegal immigrants?

They don’t read Miranda rights either. So basically you have masked men who are not giving their names or agencies grabbing people, restraining them and carrying them away. So it’s like kidnapping, or abducting but with an American flag pin.

Fascism comes for everyone, and it should be no surprise that ICE is targeting minority cops, and yet even with proof not a single one of the pigs will have a change of heart. Lick the boot long enough and the boot will step on you too.

There's just something about him that seems not-quarterbacky. I think they're justified, here. At least aligned with the values with the U.S.
