Immigrant rights advocates predict that no Tennessee cities will be on the list if the Trump administration moves ahead with planned immigration raids in at least 10 major cities across the U.S. this weekend, Knoxnews reports.

A federal judge has further delayed the implementation of a new law in Tennessee that would have prohibited convicted sex offenders from staying overnight in the same homes as their children, the Tennessean reports. Judge William Campbell Jr. issued an order extending the temporary restraining order that halted the new law, which was set for enactment on July 1. The legislation made it a felony for anyone convicted of a sex offense against a child younger than 12 years old to reside, spend the night or be alone with the person’s own child.

President Donald Trump announced Friday that U.S. Ambassador to Japan Bill Hagerty will run to be Tennessee's next U.S. Senator, the Tennessean reports. The president announced the move on Twitter, where he also endorsed Hagerty. It comes after Gov. Bill Haslam and U.S. Rep. Mark Green both announced this week that they would not seek to replace Sen. Lamar Alexander when he retires next year. Nashville orthopedic trauma surgeon Manny Sethi has already thrown his hat in the ring for the Republican nomination, while others, including U.S. Rep. David Kustoff and former state lawmaker Jamie Woodson, are also considering bids.
