ICE plans to release illegal immigrants in Tennessee to await court proceedings, governor says
Fox News
Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Lee tells Fox News Digital that ICE plans to “release single adult detainees” into the Volunteer State as they await court proceedings.
"Furthermore, we already have a national security crisis at our border, and the Biden administration’s attempt to revoke Title 42 will only incentivize more illegal crossings," he added. "It’s not compassionate to perpetuate a problem that leads to more exploitation and trafficking. 7,000 people unlawfully enter our country every day." Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News.

While the total number of detainees the agency is planning to release into Tennessee is unknown, Lee said: "This crisis is too big to ignore" and that the "only way to stop it is to secure the border."
