Bill Lee received notice from the Biden administration on Monday afternoon of the intent to transport \u201cmultiple busloads of single adult detainees from ICE facilities in New Orleans into Tennessee, beginning as soon as this week,\u201d according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tn.gov\/governor\/news\/2022\/12\/20\/gov--lee--senators-blackburn-and-hagerty-demand-biden-administration-reverse-plan-to-release-ice-detainees-in-tennessee.html\">press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The governor\u2019s office said in an email that no further details had been released to state officials. Republican Sens.\u00a0Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty of Tennessee also called on the Biden administration to reverse the decision.<\/p>\n<p>A representative for Blackburn\u2019s office noted in an email that no further information had been released to the state\u2019s federal delegation, either.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been informed by ICE that they plan to release single adult detainees into Tennessee while they await court proceedings,\u201d the governor said in the release. \u201cThis is irresponsible and a threat to the safety of Tennesseans. Furthermore, we already have a national security crisis at our border, and the Biden administration\u2019s attempt to revoke Title 42 will only incentivize more illegal crossings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Title 42 allows immigration officials to quickly expel migrants who enter the United States during a public health emergency. Title 42 was invoked by the Trump administration in March 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Supreme Court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/supreme-court-pauses-expiration-of-title-42_4933384.html\">paused the Biden administration\u2019s plan<\/a> to let Title 42 expire after 19 states filed an emergency application for a stay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not compassionate to perpetuate a problem that leads to more exploitation and trafficking,\u201d the governor continued. \u201cPlacing the burden on states is not a solution, and we should not bear the brunt of the federal government\u2019s failures. We are demanding the Biden administration reverse their plan for detainee relocation. In the meantime, we\u2019re also discussing options with the Tennessee Attorney General and our federal delegation.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Tennessee Officials Exploring All Options<\/h2>\n<p>Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti said the state should not be forced to bear the burden of the \u201cfederal government\u2019s ongoing failure to secure the border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Attorney General, I have seen how our porous border has allowed the opioid epidemic to metastasize into a fentanyl epidemic as Mexican factories turn Chinese chemicals into drugs that kill thousands of Americans,\u201d Skrmetti said in a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tn.gov\/attorneygeneral\/news\/2022\/12\/20\/pr22-54.html\"> statement<\/a>. \u201cEvery day that we fail to secure our border, we allow these terrible harms to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Skrmetti\u2019s office said they are exploring \u201call options\u201d to respond to the plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lack of appropriate notice and the lack of transparency by both the federal government and its local partners means we must work quickly, but we are committed to ensuring the safety of Tennessee\u2019s citizens,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Blackburn said that under the Biden administration\u2019s border crisis, \u201cevery town is a border town and every state is a border state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden created this crisis by terminating successful Trump-era immigration policies, including Remain in Mexico and safe third country agreements,\u201d Blackburn said in a statement. \u201cTennesseans will not stand for this flagrant disregard for law and order.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hagerty echoed other officials, stating that when he visited the border in April, he learned from officials there that drugs and people do not stay along the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s news underscores what I\u2019ve heard from Tennessee law enforcement time and again, which is that our open border has turned every town into a border town,\u201d he said. \u201cThis has brought heartbreaking consequences to communities throughout America in the form of increased drug overdoses. It has strained resources for hospitals, schools, and local communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added the Biden administration and Democrats in Congress have put forth a government funding bill that will \u201cexacerbate the crisis by increasing funding for resettling operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Epoch Times reached out to the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, and the White House for comment. They did not respond by press time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-chase-smith\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ChaseSmith_WEB.jpg\" alt=\"Chase Smith\"   style=\"display:none\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>Chase is an award-winning journalist.
