First on the fox: Two powerful committees of the House of Representatives are opening an investigation into another democratic official accused of blocking the federal immigration authorities.
Mark Green, R-Tenn.
Ogles for weeks had been asking O’Connell for weeks after the Democratic leader publicly denounced immigration operations and customs agents (ICE) in his city and signed an executive order to keep track of the ice movements in the area. He sent a letter earlier this month accusing O’Connell of “obstructing the application of federal law”.
The probe is supported by the Chamber’s judicial committee, led by President Jim Jordan, R-Ohio and representative Tom McClintock, R-Calif., President of the Sub-Committee for the force of immigration.

“The Judicial Committee and the National Security Committee of the House of Representatives of the United States carry out the supervision of state and local jurisdictions that jeopardize the North -American communities through efforts to frustrate the work of federal immigration officials,” the four leaders wrote in a letter to O’Connell.
“Although the State of Tennessee has banned the policies of the sanctuary, the recent actions of your office threaten to refresh the application of immigration to the city of Nashville and in the county of Davidson. We, consequently, write to request information on how recent actions, including a directive in Nashville and the employees of Davidson County, to disseminate their federal communications with its federal communications. of immigration, affect the robust application of the Immigration Act. “
The legislators said that the Executive Order of O’Connell, which ordered that the government employees report interactions with the Federal Immigration Authorities, “could have a frightening effect on the capacity of the application of local law to communicate freely and weather with federal immigration employees.”
“In fact, your chief lawyer recently admitted that this was an” open question “if an individual could legally announce” in advance that there is an imminent execution activity, “they wrote.

“ This statement, when seen in the context of your order that requires all agents of the Metro law to report on communications with ice staff, proposes the perspective that metro employees can use non -public information to warn criminal outside of planned operations for ice application.In that is, there is the actual potential that your executive order could have the effect of the decrease in the decrease in the
It occurs after the ICE agents working with the Tennessee road patrol arrested about 200 people that the National Security Department (DHS) said that they were illegal immigrants: many of them criminals with bandwork or other sordid past passes.
The DHS News statement focused on O’Connell on the name of comments he made in early May. “What is clear today is that people who do not share our security and community values have the authority to cause community damage.”

After the arrests, O’Connell signed an executive order aimed at monitoring peoples’ interactions with federal immigration authorities, according to WSMV4.
He said about ICE’s work in his city: “It is important for us to have it well, and it is very frustrating to see a failure in the process.”
O’Connell also helped launch the Nashville’s non -profit, “the belonging fund,” to help illegal immigrants pay for urgent care needs. The Fund’s website states that “fund donations are possible only for individual private donors and organizations; no government dollars are included. This means that no taxpayer dollars are used in the administration or distribution of this fund.”
Republicans, however, have been asked if this is true.

“The recipients of these funds are not traceable, and the purpose seems clear: to help foreigners illegal to evade the law,” Ogles told Fox News Digital. “I refuse to sit while our communities are exceeded, while our neighborhoods are destroyed and our daughters are assaulted. And I doubly refuse to silence as the mayors of the Blue City help and dump this invasion.”
O’Connell is now one of the various democratic leaders locked up in a fight against immigration with the Trump administration.
The house representative, Lamonica Mciver, DN.J., was accused by the Justice Department of storming an officer after she and two other Democrats in the House were opened to a Newark ice arrest center, accuses that Mciver has rejected as a politician.
