ICE Intensifies Immigration Raids in Nashville, Sparking Outrage and Family Separation Concerns Nashville, TN – In a recent operation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) significantly increased its collaboration with local law enforcement under the 287(g) agreement. This program allows local police to perform immigration enforcement functions, including arrests and detentions. The operation resulted in 197 arrests, according to the video. However, the operation has drawn criticism. Lisa Sherman Luna, from the State Patrol, voiced concerns about the program's lack of transparency and the impact on families. "Many of those detained were simply going to work," Luna stated in a press conference. The operation also led to the arrest of an MS-13 gang member, a convicted murderer, and a sex offender. Families have reported difficulties in locating their detained relatives, highlighting the program's negative consequences. The video underscores the human cost of such operations and the ongoing debate surrounding immigration enforcement policies.
