ICE arrested Larry Temah, a 46-year-old illegal alien from Cameroon, on January 28, 2026, after he was issued a firearm during his recruitment training with the New Orleans Police Department. Temah entered the U.S. legally in 2015 on a visitor visa, received conditional residency in 2016 after marrying a U.S. citizen, but his 2022 permanent residency application was denied due to fraud. He failed to appear in immigration court, leading to an absentia removal order. Temah currently faces removal proceedings in ICE custody. ICE emphasized that illegal aliens committing firearm possession is a felony, noting he lacked valid work authorization. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin criticized the department for granting firearms to unauthorized individuals, stating criminal illegal aliens have no place in communities or law enforcement.
