Tennessee State Police and ICE Terrorize and Arrest Immigrants

More than 100 people have been taken into custody by ICE in a joint operation with the Tennessee Highway Patrol, leaving many in Nashville's immigrant community uncertain and worried.

"None of us have ever seen anything like this," said Lisa Sherman Luna, executive director of the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition.

The Highway Patrol made 588 stops in the joint operation with ICE, which took custody of 103 under investigation for immigration violations. The operation with ICE is a reminder of how local and state law enforcement jurisdictions are critical to the Trumpf junta's plans for mass deportations. Last week, Florida officials touted a joint operation with ICE that resulted in 1,120 immigration arrests.
