On a sunny day in Destrehan, the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office hosted their 4th Annual Red Elephant Luncheon, a gathering not just for breaking bread, but for fostering community awareness and support. Held at the Mule Barn, this event, as detailed in the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office Facebook post, benefitted foster care young adults and showcased a new I.C.E. enforcement and removal operations center.

Marked by camaraderie, the luncheon on March 20, 2025, was attended by the likes of Sheriff Greg Champagne and Majority Leader Steve Scalise, the latter offering an "informative and engaging speech." The occasion, it seems, served a dual purpose: to rally support for the Republican cause and to introduce the forthcoming I.C.E. Processing Center to the local community. Scheduled to open by summer, this facility nestled in St. Rose, aims to become a landmark in the New Orleans Region for immigration and customs operations, as reported by the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office.

The luncheon, photographed by "Dat’s A Cute Pic Photography," touched on important topics like immigration, regional safety, and the well-being of homeless youth, as per the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office. The Mule Barn became a space for discussions that will likely influence the political landscape of the New Orleans area in the coming months.
