Why is Nashville's Mayor under investigation?
Nashville's mayor is under investigation for obstructing ICE.
Now, you can have a woke mayor who wants to cry and whine in his Cheerios about it, but I'm going to say we're going to stand with the president. We're going to stand with Pam Bondi. We're going to stand with ICE. Heck, I'll go out there and I'll help ICE.
What's ICE's message to other blue cities undermining the law?
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Thursday, May 29th, and this is Morning Wire.
As Europe cracks down on free speech, the Trump administration ramps up pressure on leaders across the continent. We have a report from Budapest.
President Trump and the administration are calling attention to it and I think putting the bully pulpit to use.
And Republicans are turning up the heat on Congress's own watchdog agency, accusing the GAO of trying to undermine Trump's agenda.
Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

Trump borders are Tom Homan has been leading ICE raids in cities across the country targeting criminal illegals. But some so-called sanctuary city officials are working to hinder the crackdown.
Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles, who sits on the Homeland Security Committee, announced this week that they've launched an investigation into the office of Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell. They claim that the city officials are actively obstructing ICE. The congressman joins us now. Congressman Ogles, thank you so much for joining us. Absolutely. I appreciate you having me. So you've announced an investigation this week. What exactly are you looking into?
Yeah, well, so what you've seen across the country is an increased activity and deportations by ICE and Homeland Security. And the mayor of Nashville came out with this executive order, and he's requiring law enforcement to report any interactions with federal, so local law enforcement, with federal law enforcement, But he's also encouraged citizens or civilians to report. So there's this community oversight board. He said, hey, if you see Metro Police helping law enforcement, federal law enforcement, we want you to file a complaint against them. So when these mayors are making local law enforcement the bad guys, this feeds into that loop where you see more violence against our law enforcement.
And as someone who's on the Homeland Security Committee, I just received a classified briefing. And what I can tell you is that MS-13 and Trinidad and Tobago, they're all over the country. They're in Nashville. They're in our small cities like Columbia and Tullahoma.
So we're seeing this across the country. Nashville, obviously a major focus for you being from Tennessee. Have we actually seen officials in Nashville working against ICE, obstructing ICE to thwart their operations?
Absolutely. Absolutely. So that's one of the things we're going to be looking at. So we're looking at the city of Nashville and the mayor to see if there's been actual actions or federal monies that have flowed through the city to illegals. Then also you saw the state rep, Afton Ben, who used her vehicle. She recorded herself and she put it on social media where she was blocking ICE vehicles.
