The Tennessee Attorney General’s Office announced that efforts by the governor and other state lawmakers were successful and ultimately stopped a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plan to release illegal immigrants, including convicted criminals, into the state.
State Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti announced Wednesday that after a lawsuit was filed by the AG’s office, ICE was forced to produce previously undisclosed information about the agency’s planned release of thousands of detained migrants, including convicted criminals.
ICE had been coordinating with open borders NGOs to carry out a mass release of thousands of immigration detainees into Tenn, until the state leaders pushed back and the AG sued ICE. State leaders should take a good hard look at their suit. https://t.co/XMEyfmmCj6 #FoxNews

The office said it obtained hundreds of pages of documents that shed light on federal authorities’ since-abandoned plan to transport potentially thousands of “single adult” immigration detainees into Tennessee.
