Nashville Mayor David Briley signed an executive order on Tuesday to push for a repeal of a state house bill prohibiting state and local governments from adopting sanctuary policies in an effort to stop ICE interference on local government agencies. Last week, WSMV reported on Metro probation officers sharing Nashville residents’ personal information with ICE agents. That prompted him to order the Metro Auditor to conduct a full investigation of the department involved and these deeply troubling reports. I belive this is one of the things that lead the mayor to sign into law executive order 011. Which outlines new processes and procedures for Metro departments interacting with any federal agencies engaged in immigration enforcement and related matters.
“As the mayor of Nashville, my highest duty is to protect and serve our city’s residents, whatever their immigration status. Any collaboration between Metro authorities and ICE represents a betrayal of the values of our community — and it must stop immediately. ” #MayorBriley
