Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell Should Face Congressional Probe for Aiding Illegal Immigrants, Says Rep. Andy Ogles

Metro Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell should face prosecution or a congressional probe over his recent decision to create the "Belonging Fund," which the mayor called a joint project by Nashville and the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee (CFMT). Announced on May 5 by O'Connell's office, the "Belonging Fund" is designed to provide "financial resources to nonprofit emergency organizations offering emergency assistance" to illegal immigrants who "face sudden and destabilizing challenges," in the wake of the joint immigration enforcement operation by Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

It allowed him to score 100 points in a single game. The Trump 2.0 tax bill now moving through Congress should establish a fair advantage for U.S. companies.
