Body cam video uncovered: Inside look at ICE crackdown in Nashville

FOX 17 News is taking a deeper look into the immigration sweep that prompted a strong reaction across Nashville and Middle Tennessee, as the Tennessee Highway Patrol has made hours of body camera video available from the first night of the operation. THP partnered with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to arrest nearly 200 people during the first week of May. FOX 17 News' Kelly Avellino reviewed hours of the footage and hundreds of pages of police incident reports from THP troopers, to provide a clearer picture of what happened- and what we still don’t know. First night of May ICE operation in Nashville Emotions ran high the night of May 3, the first night of the operation, as ICE arrested dozens of people they believed to be undocumented across South Nashville. The operation triggered intense protests and questions about who was arrested, whether they were deported, and whether the arrests were justified. Senior attorney Mike Holley with the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition said the operation relied on racial profiling. “It was an abuse of power... It was clearly an effort to find and stop as many immigrants in one night as possible,” Holley said. “They picked out the most immigrant-dense neighborhood in the entire state. They made a massive number of arrests that night. They had ICE vans waiting at the ready.” Others argue that cracking down on illegal immigration is exactly what many voters expect. “We feel like this is doing the right thing. These folks came here illegally. They’ve broken the law already,” said Rep. Chris Todd, R-Madison County. FOX 17 News reviewed 47 stops' worth of THP body camera video for the first night of the operation. THP blurred all troopers and ICE agents, and muted portions of the footage. The body camera video for subsequent nights is still in the process of being redacted by THP. fox17.com/fox-17-investigates/body-cam-video-uncovered-inside-look-at-ice-crackdown-in-nashville _______________ Follow!
