Feds Investigate Mayor: Nashville’s Immigration Turmoil Explodes
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A federal investigation is underway into Nashville’s mayor for his actions during ICE’s crackdown in the Mid-State.
Mayor Freddie O’Connellis accused of putting federal agents at risk with his directive to report ICE communications and using taxpayer money to help illegal immigrants.
Mayor O’Connell said that is not true and will turn over any information needed.
He is at the center of an investigation by the Homeland Security and Judiciary committees.
The letter sent to him alleges he is stopping the work of federal immigration officials, not just endangering them.
Documents are requested from the Mayor to get to the bottom of things.
Congressman Andy Ogles has been the leading voice to get the investigation going.
“Enough is enough, and we’re going to hold you(Mayor O’Connell) accountable,” said Congressman Ogles.
The fact-finding mission is looking into several issues. The allegation is that he is helping illegal immigrants with taxpayer money through the Belonging Fund.
The fund was created at the start of the ICE-THP crackdown earlier this month.
