Blair Guidry Luwisch has filed a lawsuit against the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Eastern District of Louisiana, under the court case ID 2:24-cv-01167-CJB-MBN, on May 7, 2024. The lawsuit alleges negligence and wrongful acts committed by an ICE agent leading to a car accident involving Mrs. Luwisch.
On June 6, 2022, while driving from her home in Marrero, Louisiana to her office in New Orleans, she stopped a red light at Tchoupitoulas and Religious Streets. While she was stopped, Mrs. Luwisch's vehicle was struck from behind at high speed by ICE agent Michael P. Morgan.
The impact was so violent that it propelled Mrs. Luwisch’s vehicle forward causing it to hit another vehicle and her airbags to deploy as well as her to hit her head on her own vehicles headrest.
ICE agent Morgan conceded that he was traveling to a ICE event down the street and was looking at his GPS at the time of the crash.
Mrs. Luwisch is seeking damages for past and future physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, anxiety, medical expenses, property damage expenses and other damages which may not yet be known but will come to be known through the process of this litigation.
