- GOP leaders blast plan to fund immigrant nonprofit in Metro budget
Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s budget proposal allocates $735,000 to the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition. GOP leaders, including Sen. Marsha Blackburn and House Speaker Cameron Sexton, oppose the funding, citing potential violations of state law and sanctuary city concerns. The mayor’s office and TIRRC defend the funding as necessary to support lawful immigration processes.
