ICE, State Troopers Make 150 Stops, Detain and Remove Dozens of People from South Nashville
An unknown number of people were detained in traffic stops and surrendered to federal immigration authorities, then bused out of state, in the first sweep of its kind in Nashville


The Tennessee Highway Patrol and federal immigration officials descended upon Nashville’s predominantly Latino neighborhoods in the wee hours of Sunday morning, making around 150 traffic stops, detaining an unknown number of people and quickly bussing some to out-of-state immigration centers.

With a wide net and frenetic pace, the federal agencies detained between 40 and 100 people, some drivers and some passengers, and hauled them to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office off Brick Church Pike. THP said the operation targeted “areas with a history of serious traffic crashes and suspected gang activity,” and resulted in “a few” warrant-related arrests.

Neither THP nor federal authorities on the scene Sunday would provide the number of people detained related to citizenship.

Throughout the day on Sunday, large charter buses removed at least two batches of people, accoring to two sources on the scene relocating them to a federal immigration detention center in Louisiana for processing, raising concerns about due process and leaving families with little to no information about their loved ones.

2. Gestapo tactics. Straight out of Nazi Germany.

Trump's political enemies and would be "subversives" are next.

And it won't be long in coming. That's why he's opening Alcatraz and shopping countries who'll house prisoners.
