Would there be a reason government officials would not want the feds in NO? Could there be secrets which may be discovered?

I doubt that

IMHO .. I think they were just in over their heads and didn't have a clue of what to do or how to give an order

Many of the NO and LA Officials LACKED Leadership

This is the first time I've heard of this.............

Valenti and her husband, two of very few white people in the almost exclusively black refugee camp, said she and other whites were threatened with murder on Thursday.

"They hated us. Four young black men told us the buses were going to come last night and pick up the elderly so they were going to kill us," she said, sobbing. "They were plotting to murder us and then they sent the buses away because we would all be killed if the buses came -- that's what the people in charge told us this morning."
