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.

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905)June 21, 2026
Sartre was a French philosopher, playwright, and novelist who became the foremost exponent of existentialism in the 20th century. His first novel, Nausea, was one of many works depicting man as a lonely being burdened with a terrifying freedom. He served in World War II, was taken prisoner, escaped, and was involved in the French resistance, during which he wrote multiple works. In 1964, he became the first person to voluntarily decline the Nobel Prize in Literature. Why did he refuse it?

Long before a national holiday was established, this day of the year had been observed by Canada's Inuit, Métis, and First Nations peoples as a celebration of Aboriginal heritage. In 1996, the Canadian government made June 21 an official holiday, including all citizens in the observance. Celebrations take place throughout Canada, and are organized by the regional offices of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and Canadian Heritage. Some festivities are modest celebrations; others exhibit a stronger focus on culture and tradition by holding canoe races, powwows, and awareness events.

CigarsJune 21, 2026
Cigars, tightly rolled bundles of cured tobacco, were being smoked by the Mayans as early as the 10th century. Spanish travelers to the Americas brought cigars back to Spain in the 16th century, and their popularity then spread throughout Europe. The word cigar, therefore, derives from the Mayan word for tobacco. What did US President John F. Kennedy reportedly do immediately before imposing the Cuban trade embargo that, among other things, prohibits US residents from purchasing Cuban cigars?
