The Democrat Party no longer tries to conceal that they represent 
foreign criminal invaders and are the party supporting the demographic 
replacement of White Americans with criminal illegal invaders of color.

NASHVILLE - The federal deportation raids in Tennessee that have 
garnered outrage from local Democrats resulted in the capture of 
rapists, drug dealers, and gang members, according to a Department of 
Homeland Security dossier obtained by The Daily Wire.

Nashville's Democrat mayor Freddie O'Connell has said he was very 
"frustrated" to see immigration enforcement in the city, stating, "We 
did not request this approach to safety, we do not support it." In 
response, he signed an executive order mandating that communications 
from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) be directed to his office 
immediately.

His outrage comes with little public information known about the scale 
about the raid, but The Daily Wire has learned that nearly 200 illegal 
aliens were captured during the weeklong raids, including rapists, drug 
dealers, and gang members.

The raids, which ICE carried out in conjunction with local and federal 
law enforcement partners, began on May 3 and resulted in the arrest of 
196 illegal aliens. Of those arrested,95 had prior criminal convictions 
or pending criminal charges, while another 31 had reentered the country 
after being previously removed from the United States, a felony offense, 
the federal law enforcement agency told The Daily Wire.

"This operation resulted in getting gang members, sex offenders, and 
other violent criminals off Nashville's streets, " Tricia McLaughlin, the 
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, 
told The Daily Wire. "President Trump and Secretary Noem will continue 
to stand with victims and the brave ICE agents who are on the frontlines 
making America safe again."

Here are some of the criminal illegal aliens captured in Nashville:

Jassim Jafaf Al-Raash, a 60-year-old convicted rapist and citizen of 
Iraq. Al-Raash failed to register as a sex offender following his rape 
convictions, for which he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The Iraqi 
national was also convicted of false imprisonment and larceny.


ICE also captured Franklin Oswaldo Velasquez-Reyes, a 33-year-old 
Salvadoran who is affiliated with MS-13, a violent gang that was 
recently named a foreign terrorist organization by the Trump State 
Department. El Salvador suspects Velasquez-Reyes of committing 
aggravated murder and issued a notice requesting foreign governments to 
locate and arrest Velasquez-Reyes. The Salvadoran national has several 
criminal convictions, including possession of methamphetamines, 
possession of drug paraphernalia, failure to appear, and criminal 
impersonation.


Haitian national Richard St. Baptiste, who was sentenced to eight years 
in prison for possession of methamphetamine with the intent to 
distribute. St. Baptiste was also sentenced to 30 days in prison for 
marijuana possession.


Inmar Antonio Penado-Membreno, a 34-year-old Salvadoran, was sentenced 
to eight years in prison for possession with intent to manufacture, 
deliver, and sell cocaine and four years for aggravated assault.


Carlos Reinaldo Alvarado-Rodriguez, a 39-year-old citizen of Guatemala 
with a conviction for aggravated assault.

The five criminal illegal aliens were joined by a 39-year-old Mexican 
national who had been deported from the United States six different 
times and was convicted of felony domestic assault and sex with a minor; 
a 37-year-old Venezuelan affiliated with Tren de Aragua; a 28-year-old 
Mexican national convicted of reckless aggravated assault; and another 
Mexican national who was convicted of drug possession.

"You would think all public officials would unite around DHS bringing 
violent criminal illegal aliens to justice and removing them from 
American communities, " McLaughlin charged. "However, pro-open borders 
politicians - like Mayor O'Connell - would rather protect illegal aliens 
than American citizens."

O'Connell, Nashville's mayor, not only spoke out against the raids, but 
also put local resources towards helping the illegal immigrant 
community. He announced the creation of the "belonging fund" to offer 
monetary support for illegal aliens. The fund will allocate money to 
non-profit organizations that provide childcare, transportation, and 
food to illegal aliens, though the money will not be used to provide 
them with legal assistance.

ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons told The Daily Wire that O'Connell should 
be thankful for the federal agency's operations in Nashville.

"Instead of vilifying the brave men and women who ensure his 
constituents stay safe from criminal alien murderers, drug dealers and 
rapists, the mayor should be saying thank you to ICE and its partners 
for taking these public safety threats out of his neighborhoods."

RJ Hauman, the president of National Immigration Center Enforcement and 
visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, similarly slammed 
Nashville's Democrat mayor.

"Sanctuary city mayors keep trying to outdo each other, and Americans 
are fed up, " Hauman said. "ICE is stepping up, nabbing serious criminals 
like child rapists and Tren de Aragua gang members. The American people 
are behind ICE's work to kick these threats out and keep our communities 
safe. Now it's time for Congress to give them more resources."

Despite O'Connell's response to the ICE raids, Nashville's Legal 
Director Wally Dietz admitted that the city has no authority to obstruct 
the operations.

"We are powerless, we have absolutely no authority to instruct ICE not 
to carry out their enforcement actions, " Dietz explained. "We have no 
authority to tell THP they cannot cooperate with ICE, " he added, 
referring to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn (R) praised the raids, saying. "No 
one wants these criminals in their community" and that it was "a good 
thing that ICE is rounding them up and deporting them."
