Federal records are providing new clues about where a planned U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement coordination center could operate in Nashville.
The records appear to point to 801 Royal Parkway in Donelson, near Nashville International Airport, though ICE has not confirmed the address.
The center would support ICE’s 287(g) program and provide operational assistance to participating state and local law enforcement agencies nationwide. Federal records show about $17.5 million is currently obligated under the contract, with the potential award amount exceeding $63 million.
State Rep. Aftyn Behn, D-Nashville, whose district includes the area, says she has heard opposition from constituents and is working with Metro Council members and community groups as they examine what options may be available to challenge the project.
FOX 17 News breaks down what the records show, what ICE is saying and why local leaders and advocacy groups are pushing back at the link in our bio.
