  • Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell issued an executive order in early May requiring city employees to report federal immigration enforcement activities within one business day in Nashville.
  • The order followed a joint ICE and Tennessee Highway Patrol operation that arrested 196 individuals, some with criminal histories and removal orders, prompting congressional committees to demand related documents.
  • Mayor O'Connell also launched the "Belonging Fund" to support immigrants, while Republican representatives and some city council members criticized his policies as enabling illegal immigration and accused him of undermining law enforcement.
  • ICE raids resulted in capturing members of violent gangs, and Border Czar Tom Homan warned of prosecution and a multi-agency response if city interference continues, declaring, "We're gonna flood the zone in Nashville."
  • The controversy illustrates deep divisions over immigration enforcement in Nashville, with the mayor's pro-immigrant initiatives facing legal scrutiny and political opposition amid ongoing federal-state clashes.
