According to several groups with immigration rights, witnesses saw the agencies that covered people and captured them in the Antioch region.

The groups claimed that several people were taken into custody after traffic along Harding Place, Nolensville Pike and Thompson Lane had stopped.

Both the mayor’s office in Nashville and the Metro Nashville police said that MNPD officers were not involved, although the groups said the immigrant rights.

“There was no MNPD staff involved in the enforcement measure of the last night,” said the mayor’s office. “MNPD has no federal immigration authority, is not trained for the enforcement of the immigration authorities and has no access to federal immigration databases.”

The mayor’s office said that MNPD is responding to demands for services to ensure public security at protest events such as that on Sunday directly in front of the property of the federal ice.

In response to the ice exams, the mayor’s office said the following:

“This type of federal assertiveness does not focus on making us safer and leaves people in our community because they fear interaction with the law enforcement authorities when a crime takes place. We will look for the names of the detained persons.”

As part of the Immigration and Nationality Act, Title II, Section 264, everyone from the age of 18, who was allowed to be legally in the United States, must carry their registration or receipt card at any time and have it in their personal property. If not, the federal law explains that a person is guilty of a crime and, after conviction for each crime, a fine of not over $ 100 or no more than 30 days or both is punished. “
