Press Release –
Nashville, TN – Congressman Andy Ogles (TN-5) led officials from across law enforcement and federal, state, and local government in a press conference yesterday at the Tennessee State Capitol.
During the press conference, Congressman Ogles called for immediate action to defend Tennessee communities from rising illegal alien crime and for government officials to support federal immigration enforcement.
“Ending the illegal alien invasion unleashed by Democrats and kept alive by obstructionist, activist mayors like Freddie O’Connell. That’s why I brought together patriots from every level of Tennessee’s government—from city councilmen to state legislators to federal law enforcement officials,” said Congressman Ogles. “The only way to secure our streets from the violence of illegal alien criminals is to stand with President Trump and support the efforts of ICE. Anyone who stands in the way of ICE is aiding foreign enemies and should be held accountable. It’s time to take back our country, secure Tennessee, and make America safe again.”
Speakers Included:
Congressman Andy Ogles (TN-05)
Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, Tennessee State Senate (District 27)
Rep. Gino Bulso, Tennessee House of Representatives (District 61)
Rep. Lee Reeves, Tennessee House of Representatives (District 65)
Rep. Kip Capley, Tennessee House of Representatives (District 71)
Councilman Dave Benton, Metro Nashville Councilman (District 28)
Deborah Newitz, Nashville mother and victim of illegal alien gang violence
Also in attendance on stage were Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) New Orleans Field Office Director Brian Acuna and Assistant Field Office Director Larry Adams, whose area of operation includes Tennessee.
