And a GOP firestorm resulted, with Republicans accusing O\u2019Connell of interfering with federal immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Four weeks later, a simple public policy spat has turned into a major conflict between some of the most powerful leaders in Tennessee, breaking a fragile peace between the city and the GOP supermajority legislature \u2013 and exposing Nashville to the wrath of the Trump administration. The feud, which shows no signs of ending soon, comes with real potential consequences for Nashville and other blue cities in red states being targeted over their immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s unfortunate that he&#8217;s willing to support the law breakers instead of supporting us as the lawmakers,\u201d state Rep. Rusty Grills, a Republican, said of the mayor.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.politico.com\/50\/17\/d9d4f2854c70ac00d9edba870af7\/fifty-crampton-nashvilleice-secondary1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Nashville Mayor Freddie O\u2019Connell.\" data-portal-copyright=\"Tibrina Hobson\/Getty Images\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"0\" data-license-id=\"2160679069\" data-licensor-name=\"Getty Images\" data-title=\"Nashville Mayor Freddie O\u2019Connell.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Connell, who has worked to calm long-running tensions with Republicans since his election in 2023, is the latest target of GOP ire over perceived threats to President Donald Trump\u2019s deportations, and the onslaught against the mayor also represents a further escalation in the administration\u2019s attack on local officials. In New Jersey, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested in May on a trespassing charge outside an ICE facility. That charge was later dropped, but U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver is facing assault charges from the same confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>In Tennessee, Republicans in the state legislature told POLITICO that O\u2019Connell was putting officers at risk by updating a longstanding executive order mandating that city officials disclose interactions with ICE to the mayor\u2019s office within 24 hours. They have latched onto that as evidence the mayor is impeding law enforcement operations.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Connell, speaking at a press conference following the raids, said the city does not have the authority to enforce immigration laws, and noted that Nashville\u2019s crime rates are down. He has maintained that the city did not interfere with the ICE operation in early May.<\/p>\n<p>Yet GOP outrage has spread from Tennessee to Washington. O\u2019Connell is facing a federal investigation from House Republicans announced last week, and a call for another from the Department of Justice by Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who all argue that O\u2019Connell is impeding law enforcement\u2019s ability to crack down on crime committed by illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.politico.com\/5c\/bf\/8f6ab7e84487a794e5a3e0ae0287\/fifty-crampton-nashvilleice-secondary2.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Tennessee House of Representatives meets during a legislative session in Nashville, Tennessee, on April 21, 2025.\" data-portal-copyright=\"George Walker IV\/AP\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"0\" data-license-id=\"25111713107150\" data-licensor-name=\"AP\" data-title=\"The Tennessee House of Representatives meets during a legislative session in Nashville, Tennessee, on April 21, 2025.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>U.S. border czar Tom Homan has warned that Nashville could see larger immigration crackdowns as a result of O\u2019Connell\u2019s opposition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll flood the zone in the neighborhoods to find the bad guy,\u201d Homan said on Fox News last week. \u201cWe\u2019ll flood the zone at work sites to find the bad guy, but we\u2019re going to do it, and [O\u2019Connell\u2019s] not going to stop us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have also gone after O\u2019Connell for highlighting a donations fund that supports individuals affected by the arrests, like children whose parents were detained. Republicans say the fund is an improper use of taxpayer dollars, although the fund was created by a nonprofit that says it exclusively uses private donations.<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee Democrats and immigrant advocates say that Republicans are cheering ICE\u2019s involvement because of a bad-faith view of immigrant communities and that the criticism of O\u2019Connell is purely GOP rhetoric lacking any basis. They also say the sweep shows how the Department of Homeland Security is taking in people that pose no threat to the public. DHS said about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2025\/05\/13\/dhs-announces-successful-operation-287g-partners-nashville-resulting-arrests-ms-13\" target=\"_blank\"><u>half of the people<\/u><\/a> arrested have criminal records, but only identified four of them \u2013 leading Democrats to demand more information about those detained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the politicians who care about nothing but the national news, this is a symbolic story,\u201d said Democratic State Sen. Jeff Yarbro. \u201cBut for those of us who represent communities where we&#8217;ve seen lawless dragnet policing, there are real life consequences to our community and to our neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The raid\u2019s scale and scope was \u201cunlike anything we&#8217;ve ever seen before,\u201d said Lisa Sherman Luna, the executive director of the Tennessee Immigrants &amp; Refugee Rights Coalition.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.politico.com\/27\/08\/fd18b0d74b60a1f4b14631688e67\/fifty-crampton-nashvilleice-secondary3.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sarah Shoop Neumann embraces other community members in front of Homeland Security officers at the DHS field office in Nashville, Tennessee, on May 4, 2025, where immigrant rights groups protested an operation to detain suspected undocumented immigrants the night before.\" data-portal-copyright=\"Nicole Hester\/The Tennessean via AP\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"0\" data-license-id=\"\" data-licensor-name=\"Nicole Hester \/ The Tennessean \/\" data-title=\"Sarah Shoop Neumann embraces other community members in front of Homeland Security officers at the DHS field office in Nashville, Tennessee, on May 4, 2025, where immigrant rights groups protested an operation to detain suspected undocumented immigrants the night before.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Tennessee Highway Patrol\u2019s cooperation with ICE underscores the role states will play in carrying out the Trump administration\u2019s immigration agenda \u2013 especially as DHS struggles to hit its deportation goals. GOP leaders eager to impress the president have taken steps in recent months to deputize local law enforcement as immigration enforcers, like in Georgia, where Gov. Brian Kemp recently signed a law requiring law enforcement to check the immigration status of detainees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are building an infrastructure that we&#8217;ve never seen, especially for a non-border state, to really carry out the President&#8217;s agenda of mass deportations,\u201d Luna said of the ICE operation in Nashville. \u201cThe devastation for families and local communities is going to be deep and broad, because everyone is a target now, and so it&#8217;s really alarming to see our state government being used in this manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee Republicans have framed the conflict as a matter of law and order \u2013 arguing that the ICE raids were a necessary use of force to crack down on crime they blame on illegal immigrants. Under the leadership of Gov. Bill Lee, Tennessee has emerged as one of the most aggressive non-border states on immigration in the second Trump era.<\/p>\n<p>Lee, to the surprise of many Tennesseans, was the first Republican governor to say in January before Trump\u2019s inauguration he was readying the National Guard should they be called upon to aid in deportations. In January, a few days after attending a governors meeting at Mar-A-Lago, Lee tacked onto immigration legislation as part of a special session on school vouchers. Lawmakers then passed a sweeping law expanding local law enforcement\u2019s immigration purview and making it a felony for state officials to establish sanctuary cities.<\/p>\n<p>Nashville is not a sanctuary city. But Democrats there still view the law as a warning shot from the legislature, which has clashed with city leaders over a range of issues \u2014 from control of the airport to representation in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to send a signal that Tennessee was ready to cooperate and welcomed ICE coming into our communities to get these violent people out,\u201d said state Sen. Jack Johnson, a Republican. \u201cSo I&#8217;m very, very happy with it and excited, and I hope they do more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.politico.com\/30\/12\/f07b493d48439d916181f64f593f\/fifty-crampton-nashvilleice-secondary4.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Tennessee Gov.

Brent Taylor has asked Homan to send ICE to Memphis to address \u201cthe violent crime epidemic\u201d that he says is \u201cexacerbated by poor local leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shelby County, where Memphis is located, was included on a list of sanctuary cities and counties published by DHS last week that was soon taken down. Leaders of Shelby County, Memphis and Nashville \u2014 which was also on the list \u2013 disputed their designation as sanctuary cities, which have been outlawed by the Tennessee legislature.<\/p>\n<p>State Sen. Jody Barrett described relations between Nashville and the GOP legislature as a \u201cforced marriage,\u201d complicated by the fact that Nashville serves as the state\u2019s economic engine. Nashville\u2019s population has exploded in recent years, and the city\u2019s tourism industry keeps the state coffers filled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd because of that, it\u2019s kind of a love-hate relationship,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An unsteady truce between Nashville\u2019s Democratic mayor and Tennessee&#8217;s Republican leaders just collapsed after an&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-67264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nashville ICE raid reignites city\u2019s turmoil with GOP leaders - Marin &amp;
