"Over 600 Illegal Immigrants Identified Under 287g"

Sheriff's offices across Tennessee are paying close attention to Davidson County’s new immigration enforcement program.

The program, called 287g, identifies illegal ill migrants booked into Metro’s jail.

The new enforcement program began just two months ago, and so far, authorities have begun deportation proceedings on 605 inmates.

The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office said they have received dozens of calls from other sheriff’s departments asking about the program.
