Nashville Immigration Operation
In Nashville, over 100 individuals have been detained by federal immigration officials in a joint operation with the Tennessee Highway Patrol, raising concerns within the immigrant community. This operation, part of a broader initiative supporting President Trump’s mass deportation plans, caught local officials off-guard, with Nashville’s Law Director criticizing the state’s involvement. Immigration advocates argue that the patrols have disproportionately targeted communities of color and express fears that many detainees are opting for deportation due to the lack of legal representation.
