Tennessee House Speaker Cameron
Sexton has blasted Mayor Briley for his executive order discouraging Metro agencies from cooperating with immigration officials. He warned Nashville that he might move to withhold State funds over the issue.
He called the executive order "dangerous" and "a last minute political ploy
and a slap in the face to all law abiding citizens and to our local law
enforcement agencies."
"We are a
representative republic of law and order, and no city or local mayor has
the power to circumvent state or federal law", said Sexton. "The cities and the
counties and the mayors don't have the ability to not follow the law,"
