Trump's 'Border Czar' Vows to 'Flood the Zone' in Nashville Against Criminal Migrants

Nashville Mayor Under Investigation for Aiding Illegal Immigrants

• 📌 The Nashville mayor, Freddy O'Connell, is under investigation by multiple House committees for allegedly aiding and abetting illegal immigrants.
• 💰 This follows an operation where ICE and the Tennessee Highway Patrol apprehended over 200 undocumented individuals, including a convicted child sex offender and gang members.
• 🏛️ The mayor reportedly ordered all ICE communications to go through his office, which is seen as impeding ICE's efforts.

'Flood the Zone' Strategy Against Sanctuary Cities

• ⚡ Tom Homan, Trump's 'border czar,' vows to 'flood the zone' with agents from multiple agencies (FBI, DEA, ICE, US Marshals) in cities that support sanctuary policies.
• 🎯 This strategy aims to find and apprehend criminal aliens in neighborhoods and at worksites, particularly in cities that obstruct ICE operations.
• 🚫 Homan states that while cities can choose not to cooperate with ICE, they cannot impede their efforts, and ICE will pursue prosecution if lines are crossed.

'Belonging Fund' and ICE Detention

• 💸 Homan contrasts the mayor's 'belonging fund,' which provides housing, food, and medical care to illegal aliens, with ICE's own detention resources that offer similar support.
• 🚨 He emphasizes that ICE's actions in Nashville made the streets safer by removing convicted criminals and repeat offenders.

International Case: Congressman Visits Deported Alien

• 🇺🇸 A Maryland Congressman traveled to El Salvador to visit Kilar Rego Garcia, an illegal alien who had been deported.
• 🇸🇻 Homan clarified that the congressman must follow El Salvador's rules to visit Garcia, as he is no longer in U.S. custody.
• ⚠️ Garcia is described as an El Salvadoran national, gang member, national security threat, and a repeat offender who had been deported twice before.
