The office said 'ICE originally planned to release thousands of single, adult, non-citizen detainees'
...
The Tennessee Attorney General's Office announced that efforts by the governor and other state lawmakers were successful and ultimately stopped a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plan to release illegal immigrants, including convicted criminals, into the state.
State Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti announced Wednesday that after a lawsuit was filed by the AG’s office, ICE was forced to produce previously undisclosed information about the agency’s planned release of thousands of detained migrants, including convicted criminals.
The office said it obtained hundreds of pages of documents that shed light on federal authorities’ since-abandoned plan to transport potentially thousands of "single adult" immigration detainees into Tennessee.

"The federal government’s single most important job is to keep dangerous people out of our country, and instead it has let killers and rapists illegally cross our border and walk free on our streets," Skrmetti said in a statement.
The records show that ICE’s plan to release migrants into Tennessee was derailed after pushback from Republican Gov. Bill Lee and GOP senators Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty and was ultimately stopped through successful litigation by the state attorney general's office.
...
The office said that the information further revealed that although ICE abandoned its failed plan for the mass release of detainees into Tennessee, the agency still released over 7,000 detainees directly from its Louisiana sites at that time, including more than 30 who were assigned ICE’s highest security-threat level.
...
released detainees also had criminal records that included murder, sexual assault, aggravated assault with a weapon, armed robbery, kidnapping, smuggling aliens, drug trafficking, burglary and fraud.

My gawd, the dubious intent of our federal agencies is disgusting and must be prosecuted. These people need to be locked up.
And these enormous numbers of “migrants” with criminal records allowed into our country do not even include those for whom we have no records and whose countries provide no records.
Im sure the second Trump is announced as the next president we will see chaos in the streets
Why isn’t the impeachment of Komrad Majorkas proceeding now?
Because those charged with enforcing impeachment are themselves neck deep in this corruption. Follow the money.
TN ping
They’ve already dumped illegals at the Chattanooga Airport in the dead of night. That was going on a year or two ago.
Who is in charge of ICE these days?
The central government is evil. Perhaps irredeemably evil.
Don't blame the ICE Agents they want to remove all the dirt bags. Same with the Border Patrol. Its the administration that is 100% responsible for all of this.
The good news is that the dems have completely jumped the shark with these policies. Its killing them in the poles and this issue alone will lead to their election loss in a few weeks. Its has also changed the electoral landscape for decades to come.
Sure the economy sucks but that can't rape and kill your young ones.
They may have gotten away with it if they had kept with support of Jose and Maria apple pickers but their full throttled support for criminal aliens that even other illegals don't want around was felony stupid.
They are here as the result of an illegal government program. Call them illegal government clients.
Those who enacted these policies need to be charged as accomplices to the crimes the known criminals commit when released into the community.
My daughter is in Dallas, and Tren de Aragua is in Dallas. If anything happens to her there will be HELL to pay for these people.
