Kenner has canceled its annual Hispanic Heritage Festival three months ahead of time.
The city says the event had not secured the sponsors and vendors needed for the festival.
NOLA.com reports event organizer Valerie Kawas said they did not "want to put the community at risk."
The Trump administration's increased immigration enforcement has led to raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at courthouses, workplaces, and other areas where large numbers of Hispanics gather.
A joint operation of ICE, Louisiana State Police, and the FBI arrested 84 people on illegal immigration charges at Delta Downs horse racing track in Calcasieu Parish on Tuesday.
Around 30 percent of Kenner's population identifies as Hispanic.
