Ice agents and state forces cooperate in the Nashville operation

It is late at night in the south of Nashville, and the seventh day of the convection of immigration for a week here. The Tennessee state forces, which are behind federal ice agents in unique cars, are racing in the deserted streets in this neighborhood of mostly Spanish origin. “Are you in Harding? Now – this white returned there too.” These are volunteers from Remix Tennessee, an organization for immigrants. They are trying to document what they say is an unprecedented partnership between state forces and ice agents. “Yes, he puts a lot of fear in society. Like, I face talks with the families of people who want to report self because they do not want to experience, again, what they have suffered from.” Self -reporting is something that the Trump administration was promoting. She even started providing rented trips and money for those who choose them. Tonight, 24 -year -old Jessel Heareta and Stephanie, 25 years old, arrived at the location of traffic stops. “This car pulls. It’s ice.” Here you see a government soldier, and here you see an unique car with ice agents standing. “So they just pulled someone, went out here and tried to find out the reason. Do you need anything from us? You are good? Yes, we will wait here until they allow this man to leave, then we will follow them.” Government forces cannot usually impose immigration laws, and snow factors cannot pull cars without a possible reason or a judicial order. But this new strategy, called the Patrol of the Highway called the General Cooperative Safety process, means that the stopping of routine traffic has ended in the arrest of immigration. This is exactly what happened to Anna and her fiancé, who have no documents. I asked to remain unknown for fear of deportation. So when he pulls us, ask him, “Why do you pull us? “And all he says is,” your dyes are very dark. “He did not ask us about an identity. The next thing you know, we are surrounded by cars. Anna said that no quote was given and that it was detained by the ice. She was detained in a cell for hours.” More than 20 in each one because there is no space. There is only one bathroom. They start treating us one by one. It also took a long time. The weather is hot there. ”She was released and said she had not given a reason. He believes that I will not return home from work. People are afraid. Nobody wants to go out, and get it. They take anyone. ”During the week -long operation, Patrol Tennessee told the highway that it had taken 660 with traffic violations. Nearly 200 of these stops led to the arrest of immigration, and about half of them only have previous criminal charges or suspended. The federation, and that the immigration procedures were dealt with separately. I was here, as I said, for 27 years, and we have never seen anything like this. What I want people to know: they go to another case after that. “
