More than 100-members of the New Orleans Vietnamese community stormed the steps of City Hall protesting the Chef Menteur Landfill.

Jackie Tran - New Orleans East Resident They're putting a landfill right next to our home, our community.

After a Federal Judge refused to issue a temporary order to shut down the landfill, New Orleans East residents called upon the Southern Christian Leadership Conference for help.

When protesters couldn't get answers outside, they went inside and asked to see Mayor Ray Nagin.

Jackie Tran - New Orleans East Resident "They feel like they have no say, no voice, this is how they're showing their voice."

Anh Cao - Opposes Landfill "We will try our very best to block this landfill, politically and judicially. Protesters say the landfill, which is located just across this canal will become a toxic dump and breeding ground for disease."

Father Luke Nugyen - Opposes Landfill "It will be 85-feet tall with 100-acres. If hurricane season comes it will overflow which will come over the Bayou and flow into our community."

Members of the Vietnamese Community say they're also worried because many of them grow their own vegetables.

Anh Cao - Opposes Landfill "Especially the elderly, and a lot of the water they use comes from the canal and if there is any kind of pollution that runs into the canal essentially people are going to get sick."

Residents say they are willing to work with Mayor Nagin and discuss alternate sites to put the landfill.

Now, a spokesperson for the mayor has set up meeting with the SCLC and Vietnamese community on Wednesday at ten thirty at city hall.
