Mayor O'Connell's office still waiting for names and charges of those detained in ICE raids

Driving the news: Metro legal director Wally Dietz sent a letter to ICE and submitted a formal public record request for the information. Dietz says he has not heard back.

What he's saying: While federal officials say the operation in Nashville was related to safety, O'Connell said during an interview Tuesday with WPLN that local officials are seeing the impact on families.

• "What we have seen on the ground is that they are resulting in family separation for people who are not criminals," he said. "So what is being said federally and what we know to be the case locally are not easy to reconcile. But we know we're operating only on partial information."

The other side: Citing federal officials, the Daily Wire reported that the operation in Nashville resulted in 196 arrests, including 95 people who had prior criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.

• ICE released the names and criminal histories of five people, but didn't give full details on those detained.

Zoom out: In a lengthy Facebook post on Monday, Metro Councilmember Courtney Johnston, a leading Republican in Nashville, said local officials don't have "any influence over immigration efforts."

• Johnston laid blame for the situation on a broken federal immigration system. She also worried about the impact of the strict immigration enforcement on Nashville businesses, especially the farming, hospitality and construction sectors.
• "My fear around deporting every person that doesn't have documentation is that it could have a massive negative impact on our economy, the likes of which few people in this country have ever experienced," she said. Read the full post.
