Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested almost 200 criminal illegal aliens across Nashville, Tennessee, thanks in part to the agency’s 287(g) agreements with local law enforcement.
Among the 196 illegal aliens arrested by ICE agents during the Nashville operation were 95 convicted criminals and those with pending charges against them, including an MS-13 gang member wanted in his native El Salvador for murder.
In addition, 31 of the arrested illegal aliens had previously been deported from the United States.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials, in a news release, slammed Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell (D) for supporting sanctuary city policies that shield even the most violent criminal illegal aliens from federal immigration enforcement.
“You would think all public officials would unite around DHS bringing violent criminal illegal aliens to justice and removing them from American communities,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement:
However, pro-open borders politicians — like Mayor O’Connell — would rather protect illegal aliens than American citizens. This operation resulted in getting gang members, sex offenders, and other violent criminals off Nashville’s streets. President Trump and Secretary Noem will continue to stand with victims and the brave ICE agents who are on the frontlines making America safe again.

It would be great to see these local politicians that support sanctuary towns, cities and state be arrested
for aiding and abetting known criminals.
I firmly stand behind President Trump and Secretary Noem and I.C.E. on getting these known criminals off
the streets of America.
Keep on KEEPIN ON!
Illegal = against the law. Go back home, come back LEGALLY! I don’t care why, do it LEGALLY!
Next issue!
Pack them all up and ship them the hell out of here.
