Tennessee Lawmakers Pass Tough Immigration Bill: Class A Misdemeanor for Non-Compliance

Tennessees Senate has passed a strict new bill targeting immigrants with final deportation orders, making their non-compliance a Class A misdemeanor. The bill, which passed with a strict party-line vote, now awaits Governor Bill Lees signature. The bills sponsor, Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, aims to arm local and state cops to handle those who ignore federal orders and stay in Tennessee. However, Democrats predict instant lawsuits, arguing its a federal turf grab that wont fix immigration issues and could tie up courts. Enforcement is expected to occur only during arrests for other crimes, keeping routine checks off the table.
