Since the horrific attack conducted by a homegrown violent extremist inspired by ISIS took place in New Orleans on January 1, President Biden has directed his team to provide every possible resource to support the state and local response, as well as the victims and their families. The President and members of the Administration have been in contact with the Governor of Louisiana, the Mayor of New Orleans, and other state and local officials to ensure they have the resources and support they need in the wake of this attack.
Today, the President is committing additional federal resources to help the city of New Orleans prepare for upcoming major events including Mardi Gras and the Super Bowl.
Since January 1, under the Biden-Harris Administration’s leadership, the federal government has driven actions to investigate the attack and provide resources to the victims, their families, and the New Orleans community.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Defense are coordinating on all aspects of the investigation. The FBI is operating a command post in its New Orleans office that includes federal personnel as well as state and local authorities. The FBI has deployed additional special agents, analysts, and bomb technicians to assist in the investigation and liaise with local authorities. The FBI’s Victim Services Division has engaged the FBI Language Services Section (LSS) to provide interpretation services in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Vietnamese, as needed. On January 3, theU.S. Small Business Administration announced that small businesses and private nonprofit organizations in Louisiana may now apply for federal disaster loans to offset economic losses caused by this attack. On January 5, the FBI opened a Family Assistance Center at St. Martin De Porres Catholic Church in New Orleans where Victims Services Officers are providing assistance to survivors, the family members of those deceased, and other members of the community impacted by the tragedy. This assistance includes lodging assistance, creditor/financial assistance, crisis intervention, and the provision of on-site mental health services, and other programs to support healing and recovery.###
