US EditionNashville Judges Ask for More Security After Ogles Says 'We Are at War'
Davidson County judges seek state security after U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles' posts raised violence risks and safety concerns at the courthouse, officials said.
- On Dec. 9, Judges of the Davidson County General Sessions Court asked Governor Bill Lee to ensure security at the Justice A.A. Birch Courthouse after Rep. Andy Ogles' Dec. 5 social media post.
- On Dec. 5, Rep. Andy Ogles posted on X naming six judges and used combative language including `we are at war`, which judges cited as dangerous rhetoric.
- Judges directed Justice A.A. Birch Courthouse Security to heighten protections, and the Davidson County Sheriff's Office increased staffing at the Justice A.A. Birch Building, Jon Adams said.
- The judges warned that Ogles' language raised fears of violence putting judges, courthouse staff and the general public at risk, and as of Dec. 9 Governor Bill Lee had not responded.
- The situation has intensified debate in Tennessee over political speech and officials' duties, as Ogles previously urged National Guard deployments in Nashville and Memphis, drawing criticism from Mayor Freddie O'Connell.
