Mr. Biden’s trip to New Orleans, his latest as “consoler in chief,” joins a lengthy history of presidential visits to a city that has seen more than its share of tragedies and disasters.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar visited New Orleans twice, and traveled to Egypt and Canada, before a burst of violence early on New Year’s Day that killed 14 people.
Bourbon Street is the lifeblood of the New Orleans tourist industry. But after an attack that killed 14, along with other recent violence, some people who work and live there wish for change.
Giorgia Meloni, the Italian prime minister, joins just a handful of other world leaders who have been to the president-elect’s Florida estate since his victory.
Recordings and interviews detail Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s growing discontent with American society and increasing isolation even within his local Muslim community.
Less than a year before his death, a former deputy with the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office in Florida told detectives that he had fatally shot the clerk, a 25-year-old woman.
Bomb-making materials were found at a short-term rental house, and the authorities said they had recovered a transmitter intended to set off explosives on the city’s famous Bourbon Street.
The police shared notes from a phone used by Master Sgt. Matthew Livelsberger, who fatally shot himself inside a Cybertruck outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas.
Mr. Alexander’s brother, Oren Alexander, was granted a hearing extension by a judge in Miami. A third brother, Tal Alexander, was denied bail on related charges in December.
Alon Alexander, right, and his brother, Oren Alexander, attend an initial bond hearing in Miami on Dec. 13, a day after they entered not guilty pleas to state charges of sexual battery.
Many in New Orleans have expressed a certain comfort and satisfaction at the strength of the community’s bond and its collective ability to navigate disaster and hardship.
The Transportation Department’s first ever penalty for chronic delays takes aim at four routes that consistently arrived late for five consecutive months.
The D.O.T. said it had warned JetBlue about persistent delays on its flights between Kennedy International Airport in New York and Raleigh-Durham International Airport in North Carolina.
They also said they did not see a “definitive link” between the attack and an explosion at a Trump hotel in Las Vegas, but cautioned that it’s too early to be sure.
City officials were warned in 2019 that the bollards designed to block vehicles did “not appear to work.” They were being fixed when a truck rammed through Bourbon Street on Wednesday.
The announcement by Chad Chronister, a Florida sheriff with virtually no experience in the kinds of complex international investigations the agency handles, comes just three days after his selection.
He had been hailed by Chinese state media as a model for his efforts to promote Beijing’s interests in the United States. He was in fact an F.B.I. informant.
