What Black City Gets the National Guard – The Tennessee Tribune
SUMMARY: Over the weekend, protests erupted in cities like Washington, D.C., and Chicago against President Trump’s threat to deploy National Guard troops, which Illinois Governor JB Pritzker condemned as a “fake guise of fighting crime.” Trump’s selective targeting of cities with Black mayors in Democratic states, including New Orleans, has raised concerns of racial bullying. Los Angeles was the first city to face military deployment during an immigration crisis, a move later ruled illegal for violating the Posse Comitatus Act. Baltimore’s former mayor also denied any crime emergency, criticizing the stigma caused by potential National Guard involvement.

DATA: ICE detainer requests in Tennessee up by 86.5% compared to last year
SUMMARY: ICE detainer requests in Tennessee surged 86.5% this year, with a 31.8% rise in Davidson County, according to new data. Representative Lee Reeves highlighted strains on local resources from illegal immigration, citing law violations in small towns like Robertson County. Reeves urges more local agencies to adopt 287(g) agreements, which grant federal immigration enforcement powers to sheriffs, including jail enforcement, task force, and warrant officer models. Currently, 27 Tennessee sheriffs participate in these agreements, contributing to the state’s ranking as second nationwide for ICE arrests in jails. Reeves credits tougher immigration enforcement under President Trump and supports legislation to mandate 287(g) adoption statewide. Detainer requests in Shelby County rose only slightly.
