ICE Coordination Center in Nashville | Nashville News

A federal contract worth up to $63 million, awarded in July 2025, is set to fund a 24/7 Public Safety Coordination Center for ICE’s nationwide 287(g) program — which partners local law enforcement with federal immigration enforcement. Originally slated for Adams, Tennessee, the site was shifted to Donelson in Nashville. The center will offer real-time operational support and direct ICE access to local agencies across the country, hiring nearly 30 senior staff with federal clearances. Advocates are alarmed, citing a lack of Metro Council action despite mounting concerns that this could escalate enforcement against immigrant families and children — especially those eligible for humanitarian protections. Though officials won’t confirm the location due to safety reasons, TIRRC believes it’s a building on Memorial Parkway near the airport. Metro leaders have pledged opposition, while the mayor seeks more clarity — leaving the community divided and tense.
