Tennessee courts must aid immigration enforcement
Every Tennessee court must work with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other federal immigration officers. This applies when those officers are enforcing federal immigration law. A judge who blocks lawful federal actions can be sent to the Tennessee Board of Judicial Conduct. If the board finds misconduct, that can be cause for removal under the state constitution. This law takes effect upon becoming law and ends on February 1, 2029.
