Tennessee National Guard helping ICE sparks mixed reactions

Описание: The Tennessee National Guard is helping ICE in Nashville. This was following Governor Bill Lee authorizing the move last month for across the state.

Tennessee guardsmen will be helping ICE with administrative duties.

Those in favor of ICE understand officers need all the help they can get, while immigrant advocates are upset.

A woman from Nicaragua spends her time on her food truck business in Antioch.

She wants to be anonymous because she has spent the last four years in the country illegally.

She relies on tips and customers to take care of her family.

"Despite everything that has happened I have never stopped working," she said in Spanish.

The ICE operation in cooperation with the Tennessee Highway Patrol began in early May.

Traffic stops led to hundreds of detentions.

According to ICE, some of those arrested were gang members—-like MS-13 and Tren De Aragua.

Now, the Department of Homeland Security has requested the National Guard across the country.
