Republican senators are expressing concerns about a plan by ICE to 'release single adult detainees' into Tennessee while they await court proceedings,
An ICE spokesperson told Fox News Digital that migrants have not yet been transported to Tennessee and all individuals encountered at the border are vetted against public safety databases.
"Noncitizens apprehended and determined to need custodial supervision are placed in detention facilities and those released from secure custody are part of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations non-detained docket. ERO officers weigh a variety of factors when making general custody determinations, including criminal record, immigration history, community ties, flight risk, and whether the individual poses a potential threat to public safety," the spokesperson continued.
"We’ve been informed by ICE that they plan to release single adult detainees into Tennessee while they await court proceedings," the governor explained in an earlier statement to Fox News Digital Tuesday."This is irresponsible and a threat to the safety of Tennesseans.
