Democrat Mayor Under Investigation For Aiding & Abetting Illegal Aliens

[Conservative Angle]

​

The Democrat Mayor of Nashville, TN is now under investigation for allegedly “aiding and abetting” illegal immigrants.

Two federal committees will be investigating Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s role in obstructing immigration authorities.

Republican Rep. Andy Ogles announced the investigation:

With the support of the House Judiciary Committee, I will be formally requesting all documents and communications from the Mayor’s office related to:

– The amendment of Executive Order 30—an outrageous directive requiring Nashville employees and first responders to report all communication with federal immigration authorities directly to the Mayor.

– Any internal discussions or documents concerning ICE enforcement actions in Nashville or Davidson County.

– All correspondence involving Metro employees and affiliated NGOs regarding the arrest or detention of criminal illegal aliens within the city or county.

If you’re helping violent gangs destroy Tennessee by obstructing ICE—you belong behind bars. Stay tuned.

The Congressman, along with a gaggle of Tennessee elected officials at the state level and representatives from law enforcement agencies, announced the Homeland Security and Judiciary committees will look into the mayor, his conduct and whether or not the city used federal dollars “in criminal enterprise” related to immigration.

“I will not back down. I will not relent. I will always stand with law enforcement,” Ogles said during a Memorial Day press conference inside the state capitol building. “I want my community, and I want my country back.”

The investigation stems an ongoing escalation between community members and federal immigration authorities. Ogles called for an investigation into the mayor’s office after O’Connell criticized a “joint safety operation” conducted by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials and troopers with the Tennessee Highway Patrol at the beginning of May.

The operation ended with 196 people arrested, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that also claimed the Nashville mayor “stands by pro-illegal policies.”

O’Connell’s criticism involved how members of the Metro Nashville Police Department have “been delivering safety to this community by reducing crime multiple years in a row,” and pointing out federal officials have “shown us no proof” that those arrested in the early May operation were people “with criminal histories or criminal intent.”

“We don’t even know the names of who they’ve arrested, much less the charges,” O’Connell said earlier this month. “What we have seen is a violation of due process and the defiance of court orders.”

As Rep. Ogles announced the investigation into Mayor O’Connell, protestors slammed on the windows of the Tennessee Capitol.

Earlier this month, Nashville Mayor O’Connell instructed the police to refuse to cooperate with ICE on a massive raid.

The Nashville Banner provided some background:

Ogles offered little detail in the accusations against O’Connell, but was apparently condemning the mayor’s refusal to participate in or expend Metro Nashville Police Department resources on an early May raid of South Nashville, during which roughly 500 cars were stopped and nearly 200 people were arrested by ICE, with the help of the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

While a handful of Tennessee law enforcement agencies have signed on to help ICE with enforcement in recent months, Nashville, at O’Connell’s direction, turned down a request to cooperate with ICE during this month’s actions.

After community members questioned Metro’s involvement, O’Connell doubled down on opposing the sting, describing the operation as “people who do not share our values of safety and community” having the authority to “cause deep community harm.” O’Connell’s office did not respond to requests for comment Monday.

When the Banner asked Ogles what law he believed O’Connell had violated, the congressman simply stated, “that’s why we’re going to have an investigation.”

It’s high time for accountability.

Mayor, governor, judge — I don’t care who you are — no one is above the law.

The American people are tired of authority figures siding with illegal criminals over the citizens they are meant to serve.

This is awesome. Tennessee is tired of the mayor choosing illegals over citizens.
