An inmate has been arrested as part of the ongoing investigation into the recent escape at the Orleans Justice Center, according to Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill. 

The inmate, Trevon Williams, was already in custody at the time of the May 16 escape from Orleans Justice Center.

Authorities now plan to file additional charges against him related to his alleged involvement in the incident that allowed 10 incarcerated individuals to escape from the jail in New Orleans. Authorities did not elaborate on Williams’ alleged role.

"While Trevon Williams was already incarcerated, we will be filing additional charges related to the escape," Murrill said in a post on X Friday. "We will continue our investigation and follow all of the facts to ensure we get accountability."

Williams is the latest person implicated in what has become a growing criminal conspiracy to help 10 inmates flee the jail on May 16.

"As I promised when we initiated our investigation, we will hold absolutely everyone who contributed any role to the prison break in New Orleans accountable," Murrill added.

As of Friday evening, five citizens have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the escape.

Casey Smith, 30, was arrested on Thursday and is accused of helping two fugitives immediately after the jailbreak by transporting them to multiple locations. 

Louisiana State Police on Thursday announced that 59-year-old Connie Weeden of Slidell, Louisiana, has been taken into custody on one felony count of being an accessory after the fact.

According to state police, Weeden was in contact with escapee Jermaine Donald by phone both before and after his jailbreak. She also allegedly provided him with cash via a cellphone app after his escape.

Two other women, Cortnie Harris and Corvanntay Baptiste, were arrested and charged on Wednesday for allegedly being accessories after the fact in assisting the jailbreak.

A maintenance worker at the jail, Sterling Williams, was arrested and charged on Tuesday for allegedly cutting a cell’s water supply so the inmates could remove a toilet and escape through a hole behind it.

He was charged with 10 counts of principal to simple escape and one count of malfeasance in office for allegedly turning off the water in the cell from which the escapees fled. He is being held on $1.1 million bond, $100,000 per count, in the Plaquemines Parish Jail. 

The following fugitives are still at large:

Authorities have reminded the public that these individuals are considered armed and dangerous.

The Trump administration is suing four New Jersey cities, accusing local officials of obstructing federal law and infringing on efforts to combat illegal immigration through their sanctuary city policies. 

The lawsuit by the Justice Department alleged the cities of Newark, Hoboken, Jersey City and Paterson unlawfully obstructed federal authorities trying to fight illegal immigration. 

Mayors Ras Baraka of Newark, Ravi Bhalla of Hoboken, Steven Fulop of Jersey City and Andre Sayegh of Paterson are named as defendants, along with the four city councils. 

"By intent and design, the Challenged Policies are a frontal assault on the federal immigration laws and the federal authorities that administer them," the complaint states.

Baraka was recently arrested and charged with trespassing outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in his city. That case was dropped, but U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver was later charged with assault during the protest at Delaney Hall. 

"The lawsuit against Newark is absurd," Barake said in a statement. "We are not standing in the way of public safety. We are upholding the Constitution, providing oversight, and following the laws and guidelines of the State of New Jersey."

He said nothing in the city's policies prevents law enforcement from doing their jobs. "What we refuse to do is turn our city into an arm of federal immigration enforcement, which the courts have already ruled is not our role," he added. 

Acting Assistant Attorney General Yaakov Roth wrote that local policies are designed to "thwart federal immigration enforcement".

"[E]ven where local law enforcement wants to help the United States deal with the nation’s immigration crisis, the Challenged Policies impede them from doing so," he wrote. "This not only puts the safety of officers at risk, but also endangers the broader communities they are sworn to protect."

The lawsuit comes after federal charges were filed against Baraka, a gubernatorial candidate, for his role during a May 9 clash involving Democratic politicians at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Newark.

"Recent events have proven that these New Jersey officials care more about political showmanship than the safety of their communities," said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. "As I have made clear, this Justice Department does not tolerate local officials in sanctuary cities obstructing immigration enforcement: there is more litigation to come."

"We will continue to do what we have always done, protect the rights of all our residents, stand on constitutional ground, and reject fear-based politics that divide communities rather than strengthen them," Baraka said.

"Hoboken is a community that prides itself on its vibrancy, its cultural diversity, and its inclusivity, and we will continue to stand together as a community for what is fair and just," Bhalla said in a separate statement. "The City of Hoboken will vigorously work to defend our rights, have our day in court, and defeat the Trump Administration’s lawlessness. To be clear: we will not back down."

"Jersey City gets sued for being a sanctuary city — I guess MAGA ran out of conspiracy theories for the week," Fulop wrote on X in response to the lawsuit. "Here is the truth: Jersey City’s policies protect families, reflect our values and have led to record low crime rates. As governor, I won’t be bullied. We’ll fight this — and win."

The Trump administration has targeted sanctuary jurisdictions as it continues to catch and deport criminal illegal immigrants. 

It has filed lawsuits against cities in New York, Colorado and Illinois over attempts to impede immigration enforcement.
