  • "Aftermath of Immigration Sweeps, Veteran's Record Deal, and Community Efforts in Nashville"
    2025/05/09
    Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Friday, May 9, 2025.

    Nashville is still reeling from the ICE and Tennessee Highway Patrol operations that swept through South Nashville's Latino neighborhoods this past weekend. Reports indicate between 40 and 100 people were detained during approximately 150 traffic stops, with many being transported to detention facilities in Louisiana. Mayor Freddie O'Connell and the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee have established the Belonging Fund to support affected families, while grassroots organization ReMIX Tennessee has created the Nashville Unidos Fund, which has already raised over $25,000 to help cover emergency needs for those impacted.

    In legal news, a Texas man associated with a neo-Nazi group was convicted Wednesday of threatening to lynch Nashville District Attorney General Glenn Funk. The 60-year-old posted threatening messages with antisemitic content after Funk's office charged a member of the group for assault last summer.

    Weather alerts that had been issued for Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky have now been canceled, but we're closely monitoring conditions after yesterday's storm system moved through the region. Today, expect a high of 64 degrees with clearer skies, while temperatures will warm to the mid-70s for the weekend.

    A heartwarming story has emerged as 100-year-old WWII veteran Don Graves has signed a Nashville record deal to release a song about his life story. We'll be watching for the release date and sharing more details in the coming days.

    School safety remains a focus as a weapon detection system at Antioch High School successfully prevented a student from bringing a gun onto campus. This has sparked conversations about whether additional security measures are needed in Metro schools.

    In city development news, ground has been broken for the new Pearlene M. Bransford Park, adding another green space for Nashville residents to enjoy.

    The SEC Tournament has brought excitement to the city, with games continuing through the weekend. If you're heading downtown, expect increased traffic around the venues and plan accordingly.

    Nashville's unhoused population faces challenges as "Old Tent City" has been deemed unlivable due to deteriorating conditions, raising concerns about alternative housing solutions.

    Local organizations are hosting community meetings throughout the weekend to coordinate resources and support for families affected by recent immigration enforcement actions. Check with TIRRC or ReMIX Tennessee for specific times and locations if you'd like to contribute.

  • Immigration Raids, Housing Plans, and Community Events - Nashville Local Pulse Update
    2025/05/08
    Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Thursday, May 8, 2025.

    Nashville is still processing the aftermath of ICE and Tennessee Highway Patrol operations that took place in South Nashville this past weekend. Federal agents detained dozens of people during overnight sweeps, with many reportedly transported to out-of-state detention facilities. In response, community support has mobilized quickly. ReMIX Tennessee established the Nashville Unidos Fund, which has already raised over $25,000 to assist affected families. Mayor Freddie O'Connell, alongside the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, announced the creation of the Belonging Fund to provide emergency assistance through nonprofit partners.

    Speaking of Mayor O'Connell, he recently unveiled Nashville's first Unified Housing Strategy, a comprehensive plan addressing our city's housing challenges. With property values rising 45 percent over the last four years, the strategy aims to create more affordable housing options for residents. The plan will be presented to the Planning Commission today at 4 PM at the Howard Office Building.

    For those interested in community events, the Nashville Public Library is hosting a special film screening tonight at 5:30 PM. "Breaking the News" documents the journey of The 19th*, a nonprofit newsroom founded by women and LGBTQ+ journalists. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with editor-at-large Errin Haines. Light refreshments will be provided, and the event wraps up by 8:30 PM.

    In public safety news, Metro Police report an East Nashville apartment shooting left one person critically injured. Additionally, a suspect in a J.C. Napier Homes shooting has been taken into custody with one person injured.

    Local business updates include the closure of the Kroger in Germantown, leaving residents searching for grocery alternatives. Meanwhile, Tennessee State University has named new leaders for their band and cheer programs as they work through ongoing financial challenges.

    For those traveling soon, remember that REAL ID is now required for air travel. Make sure your identification is updated before heading to Nashville International Airport.

    Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with temperatures reaching the mid-70s this afternoon - perfect weather for outdoor activities or attending tonight's library event. Keep an umbrella handy though, as there's a slight chance of evening showers.

  • Immigration Crackdown Sparks Outrage in Nashville, Belonging Fund Launched
    2025/05/06
    Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Tuesday, May 6, 2025.

    Nashville is reeling this morning after a massive immigration enforcement operation that took place over the weekend. Tennessee Highway Patrol and federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials conducted approximately 150 traffic stops in South Nashville, primarily targeting Latino neighborhoods. Between 40 and 100 individuals were detained, with many reportedly transferred to detention centers in Louisiana. Mayor Freddie O'Connell has strongly criticized the operation, stating that "people who do not share our values of safety and community have the authority to cause deep community harm." The mayor held a press conference yesterday announcing the establishment of a Belonging Fund to provide financial support to affected families.

    City Councilmembers Jeff Preptit and Terry Vo are demanding answers about the coordination between federal, state, and local agencies. The Metro Nashville Police Department was not involved in the operation, according to Mayor O'Connell, who emphasized that MNPD "has no federal immigration authority."

    In traffic news, one person died in a three-car crash on I-40 Saturday night. We're still gathering details about the incident.

    We're looking at a beautiful day ahead with temperatures reaching 76 degrees under partly cloudy skies. A perfect day to enjoy outdoor activities before some cooler weather moves in tomorrow.

    The Middle Tennessee Strawberry Festival returns this weekend in Portland. It's a great opportunity to enjoy local produce and community festivities as we enter the heart of spring.

    In public safety news, Nashville police have arrested a woman for 23 retail thefts. She's currently being held on $135,500 bond.

    The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee is working with immigrant advocacy groups to provide support services through the newly established Belonging Fund. The fund will offer child care, transportation, and housing assistance to families affected by the weekend's immigration enforcement.

    On a lighter note, the community recently celebrated a 101-year-old "Rosie the Riveter" with big band music and swing dancers. The World War II veteran, identified as Ms. Marie, was honored by an entire community that turned out to recognize her service.

    WeGo Transit recently held a hiring event that drew hundreds of applicants as Nashville continues to expand its bus service, showing our city's commitment to improving public transportation options.
