In a hurriedly-called press conference on Monday, Mayor Freddie O’Connell – without using the exact phrase – laid out his position that the City of Nashville is essentially a sanctuary city.
Mayor O’Connell said he is “heartbroken” State and Federal law enforcement organizations ran traffic stop operations in Nashville over the weekend that resulted in the arrest of illegal aliens. The mayor condemned the arrests, repeatedly stating Metro Nashville Police Department was “not involved in these actions. Enforcing immigration is a Federal responsibility and MNPD officers are not ICE.”
Mack The Finger notes with the following: the mayor must not understand the law and why America had a civil war...which determined Federal laws out weight State laws.
Addressing cameras and a small cadre of reporters, Mayor O’Connell attacked those enforcing the nation’s immigration laws in Nashville. “What’s clear…is that people who do not share our values of safety and community have the authority to cause deep community harm.
...O’Connell had nothing to say about the dangers faced by having illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds in the community. Amid talk of possible tax increases for Davidson County residents, Mr. O’Connell also had nothing to say about the financial burden the illegal alien population brings to the community.
