Landry, in a filing last week, argued that the law “needs only to delineate what is illegal — not define what is legal.”
“The rule of law must be followed, and I will not rest until it is,” Landry recently tweeted.

Attorney General Jeff Landry: Trouble on the tracks is adding to America’s woes

The worst kept secret in American households right now is that times are tough. The cost of gas, groceries and other necessitates are rising faster than a flock of spooked ducks. Inflation, supply chain issues and government failures have forced too many families to choose between fuel or food.
Exacerbating the problem is freight railroads failing to deliver. What once were affordable and dependable links in the critical supply chains, freight railroads are now expensive and unreliable clogs derailing any hope of a break for family budgets. Their service to manufacturers, farmers, and refineries with consumers across America has made building materials, food and fuel more costly — and in some cases — even scarce.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry announces bipartisan call for GoFundMe transparency
“GoFundMe's actions against the Freedom Convoy earlier this year brought to light an extreme lack of transparency in their policies,” Landry stated in a news release. “Big Tech platforms such as these must be held accountable and not be allowed to hide behind arbitrary standards that allow them to pick and choose ‘worthy’ causes."
According to their website, GoFundMe has served more than 50 million donors and helped organizers raise more than $5 billion since it launched in 2010.

They also cited an uptick in sex offenders arrested entering the country last year, as well as falling deportation numbers since 2020.
“Americans have died because of your failure to obey the law and do your solemn duty. More Americans will unnecessarily die and suffer for as long as you remain as Secretary,” the attorneys general wrote. “You must resign immediately.”

Federal vaccine mandate halted, AG Jeff Landry says more work needs to be done
LANDRY: School Vaccine Mandates Are ILLEGAL!
Louisiana Citizens for Job Creators sent out this email regarding a hearing on the vaccine mandate for COVID for Louisiana students:
This morning AG Jeff Landry testified before the Louisiana Legislature in defense of our states laws. He told the House Health and Welfare Committee that "the proposed rule that LDH plans to promulgate—adding the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of required immunizations for school entry—is not permitted under existing law."
He went on to say that if the state were to continue down the path set forth by the Governor, we would be joining the radical leftist state of California where personal freedom only applies to those wishing to have an abortion.
Landry made a convincing plea that the legislature support the rights of Louisiana citizens.
"I am asking you to take back the police powers of the state, and stop this vaccine mandate. We cannot allow an Executive Branch agency to bypass the constitutional responsibilities of the Legislature by allowing it to create policy and law by use of an executive rule. "
We're proud of Attorney General Landry standing up in support of parents and families knowing what is best for their children!
Jeff Landry is the Conservative Voice our state
needs during times like this.
Federal Judge Blocks COVID Vaccine Mandate for Healthcare Workers Challenged by Jeff Landry
Judge Terry Doughty of the Monroe division of the U.S. District Court of the Western District of Louisiana issued the ruling blocking the mandate, which would have applied to the more than 10 million U.S. healthcare workers who are employees of facilities that take money from Medicare and Medicaid. CMS estimated that roughly 2.4 million of those workers remain unvaccinated.
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and the attorneys general of 13 other states sued the Biden administration over the rule earlier this month.

Landry: Oil and Gas Lease Sale Could Deliver $100M to Louisiana
“Lease sales generate millions and millions of dollars dedicated to environmental protection projects,” Landry said in a news release.
Landry led a coalition of 13 states that sued the administration after President Joe Biden suspended new leases for oil-and-gas drilling and fracking on federal lands and waters upon taking office in January.
A federal judge sided with Landry in June, allowing lease sales to continue while the issue remains in litigation.

Louisiana Citizens for Job Creators: AG BEATS BIDEN: Landry WINS Big For Louisiana Jobs!
Jeff Landry is at it again!
After Biden illegally halted the sale of Oil & Gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico, our state's Attorney General swooped into action. He instantly sued the Biden Administration for their overreach and ABUSE of Presidential Power! After a hard fought battle in court, today a Federal Court ruled in favor of Landry and allowed the lease sale to go through!
This is a win for our state, our nation, and job creators across the country who work every day to provide goods and services.
“Despite Joe Biden’s aggressive, reckless abuse of Presidential power to ban domestic energy development – we have delivered a victory for American families suffering from the pain at the pump and the cost to power their homes,” - Attorney General Jeff Landry
Joe Biden may not understand the importance of the Oil & Gas industry to hardworking, everyday Americans, but it's good to see that Jeff Landry does!
Thank you to AG Jeff Landry for giving Louisiana another WIN!

“As the leader of the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness,” General Landry wrote. “I urge you to make this an immediate priority.

AG LANDRY: The People of Louisiana Are Resilient!!!!
Hurricane Ida was brutally destructive. From Galliano to Bogalusa, LaPlace to Hammond, and everywhere in between - our neighbors have been devastated. Many are in need of shelter, water, power, and more - especially prayers.
My office and I have begun working with local officials to help how we can. This will be a long process. It is my hope that the federal government will assist our hurricane victims - those from Ida this week and Laura from last year as well.
I just got back from down the bayou. Lafourche and Terrebonne officials are working hard to search for those in need and to clear the roads.
For those who want to return from evacuation or those who want to help their loved ones there, now is NOT the time to go. Monitor local media and social media for the green light.
The people of Louisiana are resilient; we always have been. Together, we will get through this.
Attorney General Jeff Landry Urges Supreme Court To Overturn Roe V Wade
BATON ROUGE, LA - Attorney General Jeff Landry recently joined Louisiana to a coalition of 24 states filing a legal brief at the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Mississippi’s law banning abortions after 15 weeks. The amicus brief in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization argues that Roe v. Wade should be overturned because it has no basis in the Constitution.
“I will never waver in my defense of the unborn,” said Attorney General Landry. “And I will always support a state's right to protect the unborn and their mothers.”
Attorney General Landry’s brief submits that Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood were wrongly decided and are the cause of inconsistent rulings and differing jurisprudence.
