Knoxville ICE Office Directs Some Immigrants to Nashville

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Apr 28, 2025

Some immigrants who previously were required to check in at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Knoxville must now travel to Nashville, Knox News reports. The appointments are part of the process for immigrants who were released into the U.S. or are awaiting the result of their asylum claim. Some individuals who had scheduled appointments with the office on April 23 were told to report to the Nashville office, while others checked in as normal and were given their next appointment time. One man was detained on a removal order. The previous week, 13 were detained. The Knoxville ICE office oversees immigrants living in 23 counties. The office has been closed for routine check-ins since last month. The paper reports that multiple calls and emails to the office have gone unanswered.
