TN Taliban Introduces Bill To Punish Women Who Have Abortions With Life in Prison or Death Penalty

 from The Tennessean:

Two Tennessee Republicans are seeking to impose the death penalty on women who have abortions, requiring the same penalties for women “involved in the homicide of her own unborn child” as defendants charged with homicide.

An amendment drafted for House Bill 570/Senate Bill 738 that's not yet been voted on would allow prosecutors to charge women who obtain abortions with fetal homicide, punishable by life imprisonment, life without parole, or in some cases, the death penalty.

Sponsored by Rep. Jody Barrett, R-Dickson, and Rep. Mark Pody, R-Lebanon, the bill was referred to the House Population Health Subcommittee . . .

Beware of AI Solutions in Search of Educational Problems

This review of another of Bellwether's AI propaganda pieces nails it. Founded by Andy Rotherham, Bellwether is a neoliberal non-profit sludge tank focused on generating reports for the purpose of bending educational institutions to the American corporate will. Rotherham got his start as an education advisor of then-President and neoliberal darling, Bill Clinton. Rotherham successfully leveraged his hanger-on status in the DLC to become a prominent propagandist for expanding the value of the education industry to enriching corporate America's bottom line. As such, he ably represents a long line of parasitic pandhandlers who make a living selling corporate solutions that are desperate for educational problems.

TN Taliban Pushing for Nashville to Become National ICE Hub

 by Laura Davis of The Tennessean:

How Nashville became a battleground for ICE in nationwide expansion

While U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents wind down their months-long operation in Minnesota, more of the federal agency's attention is turning to Tennessee. Since the start of 2025, ICE partnerships across the state have increased by 3,000%, according to agency data.

Nashville has emerged as a focal point for ICE, with plans underway or under discussion for new offices, a call center and reports of a possible detention facility nearby. The city also landed among the Trump administration's priority press stops in the last two years, with visits from Trump, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

The Tennessean recently confirmed that ICE plans to open legal offices in Nashville’s Metro Center neighborhood. Separately, ICE issued a proposal in November 2025 to create a "National Call Center" in Nashville to handle calls about the locations of unaccompanied immigrant children.

Meanwhile, ICE officials have sent conflicting messages regarding a proposed detention center in Lebanon, prompting residents to pack the Wilson County Commission meeting on Feb. 17, demanding officials take action against the potential facility.

“Whether this is valid or not, I do think it offers an opportunity for the county to be thoughtful about how they address it between now and the next meeting,” Tennessee attorney Jack D. Lowery said.

Social Circle, Georgia, Does Not Want An ICE Concentration Camp

ICE Pays $100 Million Profit to Russian-Born Owner of Georgia Warehouse

From Social Circle, Georgia:

Evan Newton, Covington News

Financial details surrounding the sale of a warehouse in Social Circle to the United States government have been made available.

According to a deed obtained by reporters, the U.S. government paid $128,555,500 to PNK S1, LLC to purchase a 235-acre lot at 1365 East Hightower Trail. The lot currently contains a warehouse that is expected to be used as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility. The facility could house 5,000-10,000 detainees, which could effectively triple the population of Social Circle.

In a PT-61 tax form – a tax form used for real-estate transfers — dated Feb. 3, the intended use of the property was listed as “commercial.”

As the new owners of the property, the federal government will not be subject to many of the conditions that private owners are, such as property taxes. At the site’s inception in 2022, Social Circle officials estimated it could bring close to $1 million in annual property tax revenue.

They are also not subject to any local or state zoning laws, meaning that the planned detention center facility does not have to adhere to laws set by the Social Circle City Council or Planning Commission.

The sale comes nearly three years after PNK purchased the property for $29,392,500 from Walton Leaf LLC in 2023, according to tax records. In 2024, the property was valued by the Walton County Tax Assessor’s Office at $3,294,000. However, that number jumped to $29,786,800 in 2025 as the warehouse neared completion.

This means that the federal government paid PNK nearly $100 million more than the 2025 assessment.

Talks of the PNK warehouse becoming an ICE detention center first began in December 2025 when The Washington Post reported that the federal government was eyeing the site in Social Circle. On Feb. 4, the City of Social Circle posted on its Facebook page that the federal government was in the process of purchasing the property.

In the post — which included information given to the city by the Office of 10th Congressional District Representative Mike Collins — the city said that the Department of Homeland Security had already begun evaluating the site.

However, city officials have remained insistent that they have not been directly contacted by the federal government despite numerous attempts to contact them.

On Feb. 8, the city said it was informed by “multiple sources” that the sale had been completed. 

The sale has drawn criticism from both sides of the political aisle. Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff has released multiple statements, including one with Social Circle Mayor David Keener, expressing his opposition to the facility.

Collins added that while he supported ICE’s mission, he was also concerned that the facility would place a strain on the city’s infrastructure.

Local officials from Social Circle, Newton and Walton Counties have all opposed the implementation of the facility. Several other local activist groups and citizens have even held protests throughout recent weeks.

Despite this, it appears that the ICE facility will be implemented as planned. Detainees could start being housed at the facility as soon as April, according to the city’s Feb. 4 Facebook post.
