Less than 48 hours after federal immigration agents began arresting and detaining drivers in Nashville’s immigrant corridor, Ingrid Martínez’s mom was taken into custody. “I didn’t know that after five minutes of barely being with her, I wasn’t going to be able to see her anymore,” Martínez said. Her mother is just one of nearly 100 Nashvillians detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the past few days. The raids on South Nashville roads began late Saturday night.

TBI agents arrested retired Lt. Garet Davidson on Tuesday after a nearly year-long investigation. Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk authorized the investigation last June when the Metro Nashville Police Department first alleged Davidson could’ve leaked pages of the Covenant School assailant’s journal to the Tennessee Star.

Lee has either signed the legislation or allowed it to go into effect without his signature. But today, the governor made an exception for a measure that would have given the state more power to reject parole requests.

Mayor Freddie O’Connell has decried the wide-scale arrests of South Nashville drivers Saturday night. However, the mayor’s office is limited in how it can respond since state lawmakers have curbed the power of local officials to interfere with immigration enforcement.
