Sanctuary city status
Cooper has stated that "Nashville cannot and will not be a sanctuary city."[13] In October 2019, Cooper reversed an executive order implemented by former mayor David Briley in his last few weeks in office that reportedly discouraged local cooperation with federal immigration authorities and encouraged the repeal of state laws described as "anti-sanctuary" laws.[14] >>12170661
