Her trip is part of an effort to highlight the administration's broader commitment to crack down on violent crime and acts of terrorism.

While in New Orleans, Bondi plans to conduct briefings during the visit related to preventing another terrorist attack in New Orleans, DOJ officials told Fox News.

She will also meet with other state and local officials in downtown New Orleans at 2 p.m. local time.

The visit comes as Bondi looks to move on her Day One priorities as the nation's top prosecutor - among them, cracking down on terrorist-linked or inspired attacks on U.S. soil. 

The massive security effort will involve an on-the-ground presence of thousands of law enforcement personnel, officials said, as well as airspace restrictions, road closures, and more - all designed to ensure the safe protection of the city's residents and the more than 120,000 visitors expected to flock into town for the event.

"We're going above and beyond what we've seen in the past when we've hosted previously," New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell told reporters at a press briefing Wednesday.
