We have heard this from our partner organizations: “Our most educated guess is that there's over 100 people in Nashville that have been picked up over the last two days for minor traffic incidences and arrested under civil immigration charges. Most of the people pulled over are thought to be those with minor infractions, like tinted windows or broken taillights. Some people were questioned about their tattoos. We've heard of mothers who were just trying to get to work and Asylum seekers who hadn’t had a chance yet to get a license. It reeks of racial profiling. Many families have not yet been able to locate their loved ones, and a team is working around the clock to identify those arrested.” People were stopped on roads in neighborhoods at the heart of the immigrant and refugee community.
