The Louisiana attorney general said Sunday he will take legal action to stop the incinerated personal belongings of a Dallas Ebola victim from being disposed of in a landfill in Calcasieu Parish.

Buddy Caldwell said he plans to ask for a temporary restraining order on Monday morning preventing any of the wastes from entering Louisiana, the Attorney General’s Office said in a release.

“The health and safety of our Louisiana citizens is our top priority,” Caldwell said in a news release. “There are too many unknowns at this point, and it is absurd to transport potentially hazardous Ebola waste across state lines.”
