View all City Cast Nashville episodes

According to recently analyzed incident reports, no reasons were documented for most of the 600 traffic stops made by the Tennessee Highway Patrol during ICE’s six-day sting operation in May. Host Marie Cecile Anderson is joined by Newsletter Editor Margaret Kingsbury and Nashville Banner Editor-in-Chief Steve Cavendish to talk about this story, what we know about the new ICE call center that’s reportedly planned for Nashville, and the proposed housing bills that are continuing to make waves. Plus, food aid resources for those impacted by withheld SNAP benefits and how you can help, and the Predators' big moment on SNL.
