A Democratic mayor is defending the public release of names of federal immigration officers involved in mass migrant round ups, claiming that the real concern isn't their safety, but that masked agents are 'whisking people' away.
Names of agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were posted to online by the City of Nashville, as part of a public records request that mandates information about immigration be posted online to a city website.
Mayor Freddie O'Connell is currently under investigation by two Congressional committees for allegedly helping illegal immigrants in Music City evade deportations.
'I understand the concerns but it's not a process that I would characterize as doxing,' O'Connell told reporters at a press conference Wednesday.
'It was an unintentional release of names that was already part of a public record.'
However a local Republican Congressman who is leading the investigations against the mayor slammed O'Connell on social media.
'ICE agents and their families are not safe because of Freddie's reckless actions,' Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles tweeted.
'He's not even sorry. The pushback was so intense, O’Connell had to abruptly end the press gaggle. This investigation is far from over. Stay tuned.'
Identities of federal agents, which are protected in certain situations by law, were posted online, but later taken down after push back from the the Department of Homeland Security (DHS.)
'We've obviously had some concerns from DHS about releasing those names. They would still be discoverable, but that was not an intent of an executive order,' the mayor explained.
'It wasn't an intentional process. Using multiple local departments, we've had multiple people whose names have been there, but again, this is something new. We're reviewing it.

I’d be banned if I said what I am thinking.
The comments at the site are brutal…..
What about Privacy Violations ?
“A Democratic mayor (Freddie O’Connell) is defending the public release of names of federal immigration officers involved in mass migrant round ups, claiming that the real concern isn’t their safety, but that masked agents are ‘whisking people’ away.”
Yet another case of “Tell me your gay without telling me your gay.” Tattling to cause trouble or even harm for others is one sign.
That douche Clay Travis constantly brags about “Nashvull.” It’s just another city infested with liberals.
Detain him for the duration of CWII.
From last year. Guess who gets a security detail...

The above explains a lot.
Something happens to one of those doxed ICE agents or their families, the mayor and the city will be paying out big time. Can’t believe they are that dumb.

any ICE agent sustaining injury or harassment due to said doxing needs to sue the mayor for millions ... maybe even a class action claiming pain and suffering by the ICE agent’s families ..
He looks like that pajama boy from the “talk about health insurance at Thanksgiving” obamacare ad.
I guess you have to physically attack an ICE agent to be handcuffed and released an hour later. No wonder there are thousands of these ahoes ready to break the law. All they get is a commercial on the news and a crying session at the Congress.
Seems like obstruction of justice, one of the Dems favorite crimes to accuse Republicans of.
"Democrat mayor SMIRKS as he defends 'doxing' ICE agents"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
I surmise that the misguided (imo) mayor is clueless about the Constitution's Article I, Section 8, Clause 15, and Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, and their possible ramifications with respect to his pushback actions.
"Article I, Section 8' Clause 15 (1.8.15): To provide for calling forth the Militia [all emphases added] to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;"
"14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a [all emphasis added] Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
