Image: Anti-ICE call center press conference – Nashville District 30 Councilwoman Sandra Sepulveda speaking Image Credit: Nashville Noticas / FacebookTennessee Conservative News [By Olivia Lupia] –Nashville city leaders and leftist activists are looking to oppose a planned ICE call center after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security changed the contract's location from Adams in Montgomery County to Nashville, claiming the facility will bring more harm to immigrant communities and saying they will attempt to legislatively hamstring the project.A federal contract database shows that initially, the $63 million contract for the ICE immigration enforcement support center to Alaska-based company Koniag Government Services listed Adams, TN as the potential location, a rural town along the Kentucky border with a population of about 600. But towards the end of last week, an update to the database listed Nashville as the new location, showing a ZIP code covering the Donelson neighborhood near the Nashville International Airport. DHS has confirmed it is establishing a Public Safety Coordination Center designed to support ICE's 287(g) program not just for the over 100 Tennessee agencies currently enrolled in the program, but nationwide. Through 24/7 operation organized around 8-hour shifts, ICE has said the center is intended to “strengthen coordination” with state and local law enforcement partners across the country.“The center will provide 287(g) partners with real-time operational support, case-related guidance, and direct access to ICE resources, improving response times and ensuring law enforcement has the support needed to protect communities and enforce federal immigration law,” read a department statement.ICE did decline to confirm the specific location, citing a “coordinated campaign of violence” against its officers, a comment corroborated by DHS reports stating officers are facing “an 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,300% increase in assaults against them,” as of June 2026.However, the liberal sect of Nashville does not appear pleased with the news, with immigrant advocates and city leadership claiming the center conflicts with the city's values and will “spread fear” in immigrant communities.Several Metro City Council members recently hosted a press conference alongside representatives from the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC), Tennessee Justice for Our Neighbors (TJFON), and other “community and faith leaders”, expressing their displeasure with a possible facility and pledging to oppose the center however they can.“This call center is not Nashville, and we will make sure that we do everything in our power so that it is not here, ever. Because we have a responsibility to all Nashvillians, whether they were born here or raised here. They are Nashville,” District 30 Council Member Sandra Sepulveda said. Sepulveda also said they are “currently looking at legislation that would look at any zoning and permitting at this time. So we are in the process of talking to community partners and different Metro officials to see what our path will be. Know that we are here, and we will be fighting with every breath we have until we find solutions.”TJFON Executive Director Tessa Lemos Del Pino said, “The government is required by law to protect children living in this country without a guardian. This is to protect them from abuse, exploitation, or being trafficked. Instead, our government is funding a call center that extensively puts a target on their backs.”But while Del Pino calls it “targeting”, ICE has previously said the national call center will help to locate these vulnerable unaccompanied migrant minors, a task the Trump Administration has taken very seriously. According to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, over 150,000 of 450,000 missing children have been recovered since the beginning of Trump's second term, thanks to a special task force dedicated to the job.A spokesperson from Mayor Freddie O'Connell's office said his office is “still in the process of getting a consistent depiction of what is planned”, though it is likely he will ultimately stand in opposition should the project plans move forward.

Former Nashville Teachers Claim Metro Schools Admin Directed Them To Change Failing Students' GradesTennessee Conservative News [By Olivia Lupia] –Two former teachers at different Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) have alleged that district administration pressured them to alter failing student grades, reprimanding them for refusing to do so, and were also discouraged from reporting student behavioral issues to bolster district statistics.The story made national headlines last week when award-winning former teacher Samira Hardcastle, who resigned earlier this year after eight years of teaching art in Metro schools, took her complaints directly to the school board, citing allegations concerning grading, staffing, and other workplace issues.Hardcastle, who was previously named teacher of the Year at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Antioch and recognized as a Blue Ribbon Teacher of the Year for the 2025-2026 school year, submitted a three-page resignation letter in May, outlining her concerns about the grade manipulation and behavioral issues with students.“The news reports that behavioral issues are down, they are not. We are simply banned from reporting them, forcing us to keep disruptive students in the classroom,” she said during her testimony. “Statistics are being skewed to protect the district, not our children. Our children cannot read or write. They cannot do basic math.” She also recounted her experience of giving a failing mark to a student for not finishing a project, then having the mother complain and harass the school district until her child was given a passing grade by the administration, overriding Hardcastle's original grade which she stood by. She said this was just one example of the grade fabrication practice which she believes is pushed by administrators to make district scores look better.“The kids don't put in the work. They get the grade they earn, and the parents would come and complain and argue and say that I didn't do something correctly. And so then when that district gets involved, they just side with the parent to shut them up,” Hardcastle later elaborated to a local news outlet.“It creates false entitlement. What happens when these kids lie, cheat and cry their way through school and end up as future doctors, police, or politicians? When will you protect the future of our society?” she demanded of the school board.Hardcastle also claimed the HR department withheld money from her paycheck and others. “They took $500 from me specifically and it put me behind on my mortgage. And then they sent out an email saying they had to do it to pay other employees,” she alleged.Before resigning, Hardcastle was disciplined for what the district called “unprofessional communication” with a parent and student, but MNPS denies all the allegations in Hardcastle's documentation, telling media outlets there is “no evidence” that any of the former teacher's allegations have been substantiated at JFK Middle School or districtwide, and could not offer definitive clarity about the paycheck discrepancies.But internal emails have also surfaced regarding a second teacher, Diana Wills, who rejected directives to change failing student grades. Wills, a former math teacher at John Overton High School, was ultimately suspended for failing students without informing parents and told she had to give the students passing grades because of it. “What is being done is unethical and could very well be interpreted as illegal,” she wrote in one email. Other emails show how administrators told Wills she had violated district policy by failing students without alerting their parents, and because of that action she needed to pass the students by giving them a D.Wills stood her ground, writing that one student was offered multiple opportunities to make up exams but never did, also noting she was on medical leave for much of one semester. “You are latching onto a very vague line in the policy so you can cook the books to have the data look the way you need it do,” Wills said in another email.The former math teacher is now suing the district for suspending her, though the district contends Wills' case involved a “difference of opinion over district policies” and that the grade changes “did not meaningfully affect the student's final outcome in those courses.”JC Bowman, executive director of Professional Educators of Tennessee, said the concerns raised by Hardcastle and Wills extend beyond Nashville. In a media interview, Bowman said his organization hears similar concerns from educators in other part of the state, though they specifically hear it from MNPS.He showed a text message he received from a teacher in Montgomery County who claimed school districts have been “massaging” discipline numbers for years and expressed frustration with how disruptive student behavior is handled. Bowman pointed to the message as yet another example of why he believes the challenges brought to light by the former Nashville teachers warrant a “broader discussion” about student discipline in Tennessee schools.

Brandon Lewis Endorses Derek Greene Over David Queen For Republican State Executive CommitteemanHAMILTON COUNTY, Tenn. — Tennessee Conservative News Publisher Brandon Lewis has publicly endorsed Derek Greene in the race for Republican State Executive Committeeman representing Tennessee Senate District 11, citing what he describes as significant differences between Greene and incumbent David Queen on key Republican Party issues and participation in party affairs.Lewis announced his endorsement while defending campaign signs that ask the question, "David Queen Votes Liberal?" According to Lewis, criticism surrounding the signs has focused attention on the campaign's messaging rather than Queen's record.Lewis argued that Republican primary voters deserve to know where candidates stand on issues affecting the party.Among the concerns Lewis raised was Queen's decision not to support a resolution favoring legislation that would prevent Democrats from voting in Republican primary elections. Lewis characterized Queen's position as effectively opposing the measure and said the two had previously discussed the issue at length following a Chattanooga Republican Women event.According to Lewis, Queen defended allowing Democrats to participate in Republican primaries, arguing that the practice had benefited Republicans by helping the party gain legislative majorities. Lewis said while Queen is entitled to hold that view, Republican voters should be informed of it before casting their ballots.Lewis also criticized Queen for declining to support a Hamilton County Republican Party resolution backing State Sen. Bo Watson's efforts to end taxpayer-funded education for illegal immigrants. Lewis described the issue as one that aligns with the priorities of many Republican primary voters and questioned whether Queen's positions accurately reflect the voters he represents.In addition to policy disagreements, Lewis raised concerns about Queen's attendance record as a State Executive Committeeman. Lewis claimed Queen attended only about half of the meetings he was expected to attend and argued that regular participation is a fundamental responsibility of the office because SEC members serve as liaisons between local Republican organizations and the state party."You cannot represent people when you do not show up," Lewis said, adding that absenteeism is as concerning as disagreements over policy positions.Lewis rejected criticism that the campaign signs constitute "dirty politics," arguing that discussing a candidate's voting record and attendance is a legitimate part of informing Republican voters.Lewis stated that he personally paid for the signs as an in-kind contribution supporting Greene's campaign.While acknowledging that he has known Greene for years and attends church with him, Lewis said his endorsement is based on Greene's leadership qualities rather than personal friendship.According to Lewis, Greene possesses the "courage and backbone" needed to hold Republican elected officials accountable, defend the party platform, and challenge lawmakers when they depart from conservative principles.Lewis concluded by encouraging Republican voters throughout Senate District 11 to support Greene in the State Executive Committeeman race, arguing that the office plays an important role in maintaining accountability within the Republican Party.
