May 27, 2025 Republicans, Trump cultists

Nashville’s ABC affiliate reports:

Two federal committees will be conducting an investigation into Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell for allegedly “aiding and abetting” illegal immigration, Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles announced on Monday.

The Congressman, along with a gaggle of Tennessee elected officials at the state level and representatives from law enforcement agencies, announced the Homeland Security and Judiciary committees will look into the mayor, his conduct and whether or not the city used federal dollars “in criminal enterprise” related to immigration.

“I will not back down. I will not relent. I will always stand with law enforcement,” Ogles said during a Memorial Day press conference inside the state capitol building. “I want my community, and I want my country back.” Ogles called for an investigation into the mayor’s office after O’Connell criticized a “joint safety operation” conducted by ICE officials and troopers with the Tennessee Highway Patrol at the beginning of May.

This was the same ICE raid during which Kid Rock’s namesake restaurant sent kitchen staff home.

Last year the FBI raided Ogles’ home over allegedly fraudulent campaign finance reports.

Also last year Ogles filed articles of impeachment against Kamala Harris hours after she formally announced her bid for president.

In July 2024 he introduced a bill that would ban gag orders for all federal defendants. Shortly after he was elected, Ogles was found to have lied about his education and background, drawing comparisons to George Santos.
