ICE plans to establish a Nashville call center to track unaccompanied migrant children, handling 6,000–7,000 calls daily.
The center aims to support law enforcement while critics say it could erode trust in local authorities by increasing surveillance and fear among immigrant families.
The initiative aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed immigration focus, including family separations and self-deportation incentives, with opening by March 2026 and full operations by June 2026.
