This presentation examines the evolution of immigration policy in Tennessee, beginning with earlier laws that allowed flexibility and local decision-making, and transitioning into the stricter, state-controlled policies introduced during the 114th General Assembly. It highlights key legislation such as HB 6001 and SB 1364, emphasizing the shift toward required cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The presentation also explores the broader impact of these changes on communities, including concerns around public safety, trust in law enforcement, family stability, and access to essential services. It encourages a deeper understanding of how policy decisions affect both systems and the everyday lives of individuals.
