In the Music City, the Mayor is Dangerously Out of Tune

In the closing days of the runoff campaign, incumbent Nashville Mayor David Briley is singing a sanctuary song that cannot be music to the ears of any voter who cares about public safety.

On Tuesday, Briley signed an executive order that prevents Nashville city agencies from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and also directs city attorneys to examine ways to challenge the constitutionality of HB2315, the Tennessee anti-sanctuary bill which took effect in January.

Briley, who is trailing Metro Council member John Cooper in most polls, also called for the delegation from Davidson County, which includes Nashville, to take action in the State Assembly to repeal HB2315.

The fact is that HB2315 – which passed with a veto-proof majority – does not force localities into taking on new roles or financial burdens. It merely prevents local jurisdictions from adopting sanctuary policies that prevent cooperation with ICE, which is something which Briley once said he supported.

Doh! Mayor Briley's EO violates Tennessee law.
