U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan is set to rule Tuesday on a plan for the New Orleans Police Department to enter a two-year "sustainment" period that marks the last phase of a federal consent decree that has governed the city's police force since 2013.

After more than a decade under federal oversight, the New Orleans Police Department will finally have a chance to prove that it can police itself, a judge ruled Tuesday.

In a joint statement, Governor Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill said, “Now is the time to end NOPD’s consent decree and return control of policing to the City—the brave men and women who serve in the NOPD deserve recognition for the hard work and commitment to this community that they have demonstrated over the last decade.”

The president-elect said he had an “obligation” to attack one specific late night host. A photo shared by Vice President Kamala Harris from Jimmy Carter's funeral has gone viral due to the exclusion of President-elect Donald Trump.

After years of federal oversight, the New Orleans Police Department is entering the final phase of the consent decree.

The New Orleans Police Department can begin ending its longstanding federal oversight, a judge ruled Tuesday in response to a request from the city and the Justice Department to wind down monitoring.
