It is racist if you go where they live.

And other Liberal stupidities

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers conducted roughly 150 traffic stops in Nashville this weekend during a “public safety operation” with federal authorities, but immigrant advocates called the stops a form of profiling and discrimination.

The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) described the situation on Facebook: “In the early hours of May 4, advocates and organizers in the community confirmed what appears to be a coordinated operation between Tennessee Highway Patrol and ICE to stop and arrest community members driving on Nolensville Road in South Nashville.”

Immigrant rights groups report ICE activity in Nashville, TN

There were a 150 traffic stops with several people arrested for anything to drugs, illegal weapons possession and outstanding warrants. And, the presence of ICE meant those without legal standing to be in the country were arrested and taken to deal with legally their status. But by the outrage of the Pro-Illegal Immigrant/Pro-Gang activists, it seems the location chosen by the authorities was heavy on people that come from other countries illegally and concentrate to live among others of the same origin.

And, of course, the proper number of politicians waving the Race Card were heard from:

State Rep. Aftyn Behn (D-Nashville) - Dragnet operations like this do nothing to improve public safety. What they do is terrorize families, disrupt lives, and shatter trust between law enforcement and the communities they are supposed to serve. THP officers should be focused on roadway safety, not detaining parents heading to drop their kids off at daycare or pulling over residents based on their appearance, language, or neighborhood.

State Rep. Justin Jones (D-Nashville) - A statement is insufficient to address the cruel and heinous acts committed by ICE and the Tennessee Highway Patrol last night in South Nashville, where over 150 targeted traffic stops were made to detain those they suspected of being undocumented. Weaponizing the THP to terrorize immigrant communities and rip families apart is reprehensible and makes our communities less safe. My office will be continuing to press Governor Lee’s administration, including the Commissioner of Safety and the Colonel of the Tennessee Highway Patrol, about these racist stops, the names of those detained, and the role racial profiling played in targeting immigrants coming home.

Metro Councilmember Brenda Gadd - Last night, ICE and Tennessee Highway Patrol carried out coordinated immigration raids in South Nashville — targeting a community with a strong, vibrant immigrant population. Families were torn apart and our neighborhoods were harmed.

This kind of racial profiling and cruelty does not make us safer. It tears families apart, creates fear and trauma, and undermines trust in our public institutions. We must stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors — now and always.

What do we know about illegal aliens? That the immense majority come from Mexico, Central and South America which means they Hispanics and that they tend to live in neighborhoods that fit the culture where they come. So, the question is: Where else do they think ICE should go searching for violators of our immigration laws? You go fishing into bodies of water that have a great chance to contain fish not in the middle of the Mohave desert. I wonder if the FBI should stay a full-force tactical sweep of the NAACP headquarters looking for Klan and other White Supremacist members because, you know, you should not racially profile that organization.
