As a joint operation of nearly two weeks by ICE and the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) cracking down on immigration enforcement appears to be concluding, not all in the community are happy as the Nashville Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) organized a protest over the weekend, claiming the agencies have been “terrorizing the working-class people of Nashville”.
The operation has resulted in the arrest of 196 illegal aliens in the Nashville area, including numerous gang members, murderers, sex offenders, and those with assault convictions.
Of those detained, 95 had prior criminal convictions and pending criminal charges while 31 had been previously deported but had illegally reentered the country.
But the criminal actions of these aliens are apparently irrelevant to the Nashville PSL as they gathered in numbers close to 200 to protest at the corner of Nolensville Pike and Harding Place in Nashville on May 17th. According to a flyer, the event was branded as an “Emergency Rally” to “Stop the Kidnappings” of their “friends and neighbors”.
