Ogles Launches Investigation Into Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell, Files Official Request for Documents

Columbia, TN - Today, Congressman Andy Ogles, alongside the House Homeland Security and Judiciary Committees, has formally launched an investigation into Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell. The letter requires Mayor O'Connell to provide Congress with all communications, documentation, and materials relating to:

• His amendment of Executive Order 30, which involves coordination between local authorities and federal immigration officials;
  
  
• Any contact or correspondence with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) regarding immigration enforcement, sanctuary policies, or the handling of criminal aliens;
  
  
• Any internal or external communications concerning the activities of ICE, DHS, or other federal law enforcement operating in Nashville or Davidson County;
  
  
• All financial records and documentation pertaining to taxpayer-funded programs and funds distributed to illegal aliens, including but not limited to the Nashville "Belonging Fund."
  
  

"Instead of defending our state, Mayor Freddie O'Connell is sabotaging it. He's weaponized his office to dox and surveil federal agents who are trying to stop violent criminals - and worse, he's embraced those criminals by creating a taxpayer-funded program to aid illegal aliens The recipients of these funds are untraceable, and the purpose seems crystal clear: help illegal foreigners evade the law," said Congressman Ogles.

"I refuse to sit back while our communities are overrun, our neighborhoods are destroyed, and our daughters are assaulted. And I absolutely refuse to stay silent while blue city mayors aid and abet this invasion."

"Today, with the full support of Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green, we're taking action. If Mayor O'Connell wants to spy on federal agents doing their job, then Congress is going to investigate him for obstruction," Congressman Ogles said.
