The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn are slamming Nashville’s mayor after his office posted the names of ICE agents and Homeland Security Investigators.
FOX 17 News first reported this on Wednesday.
After our story aired, the mayor’s office removed those names and told FOX 17 News the names were “mistakenly included in the information posted online.”
Critics of Mayor Freddie O’Connell say releasing the names was no mistake and puts federal agents at risk.
Supporters of Mayor O’Connell insist it was not malicious.
The names of ICE officers and Homeland Security Investigators are no longer visible on the Office of New Americans’ website, following our discovery of the public data.
This stemmed from Mayor O’Connell’s amended Executive Order 30.
The mayor’s office previously told FOX 17 News it made the interactions with ICE agents public in the name of transparency. (Read more: Fox17 Nashville, 5/30/2025) (Archive)
