US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted operations in Nashville this week, resulting in the arrests of a convicted child sex predator and an alleged gang member, but the mayor of the city said the arrests were not focused on making the city safer.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shared Democratic Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s letter to the city about the ICE arrests.
“Our top priority is keeping people safe, and we’re deeply concerned that what appear to be federal actions are making that harder,” O’Connell wrote. “Overnight, we understand that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents detained people during enforcement actions in Middle Tennessee. As we learn more, I want to be clear: No [Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD)] personnel were involved in last night’s enforcement action.”
He added that the city’s police department does not have federal immigration authority, nor are its members trained to conduct immigration enforcement.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Like every major city, Nashville is a cesspool. They need to be cleaned up badly.
Mr. Mayor, begone!
Hard to believe that back in the mid 1990s, I wanted to live and work in Nashville (legally of course). This guy sounds like the San Francisco Mayor in Dirty Harry, lol.
democrats will say the craziest things
Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through a dark alley with a butcher knife and a hard on, I figure he isn’t out collecting for the Red Cross.
The Mayor: I think he’s got a point.
The country music industry is turning Nashville into Hollywood East.
Well, look at the voters.
Hey Nashville Mayor-—Have you made certain that all of the illegal aliens in your city have registered?????
This law requires all aliens in the United States for more than 30 days to register with the federal government. Failure to comply is a crime, punishable by fines, imprisonment, or both.
Upon registration and fingerprinting, DHS will issue proof of registration. All noncitizens 18 and older must carry this documentation at all times. This administration has directed DHS to prioritize enforcement, there will be no sanctuary for noncompliance.
“Our top priority is keeping our imported voters.”
Too bad, so sad. Democrats are focused on breaking American society into violent, warring groups.
He’ll probably declare Nashville a “sanctuary city”
Our homegrown criminal class will fill that vacated niche.
the way I look at is...Vanderbilt is at the heart of the crud going on there. It has ties to Asheville, yes? like the anti-messiah, a beautiful costume but it’s always about money and power. Music industry isn’t very moral either.
Yes, and that was the Mayor of San Francisco in the movie.
That seen would never get filmed today. Today the Mayor would be a woman, a black man or a gay white/asian guy.
In the 1970s the cops were mostly white guys. The perps were almost all Black or Hispanic. Although, in Dirty Harry the bad guy was a white man.
I watched The French Connection after Hackman’s death. The first thing I noticed was that all the bad guys were Italian mobsters and the bar Popey went into was all full of Black druggies. My wife noticed how much trash was in NYC everywhere in 1971.
THIS is what, I wish, our idiot mayor here in Nashville needs to hear. This is a real leader!

Nashville has an influx of libs from Los Angeles - rats fleeing the sinking ship.
But they get to their new cities and vote Democrat. Vote for the policies that destroyed their precious homes.
Dems are a plague of locusts. They’ve done this tk Denver as well.
BTTT
Isn’t this Nashville mayor the guy who hid the manifesto of that trans school shooter? Or am I remembering wrong?
