‘Antioch bows to no council member': Some constituents call for Metro Councilmember's resignation following immigration remarks
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Members of the public spoke up about a Metro Councilmember's statements regarding immigration. Metro Councilmember David Benton, who represents District 28, was present at a press conference with Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles wherein Ogles confirmed a federal investigation into the Nashville Mayor's Office over allegedly 'aiding and abetting' illegal immigration. At the press conference, Benton also called for a state or federal audit of the Belonging Fund to 'clarify whether any funds are inadvertently supporting' illegal immigration. 📧 Have breaking news come to you: → The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee had established the Belonging Fund in conjunction with Metro Nashville following Immigrations and Customs Enforcement activitiy in the city. According to Metro, it's meant to give money to nonprofit organizations helping with things like housing instability, childcare or other urgent needs — but not legal services. The CFMT has said that no government dollars have been used for the fund, just donations from individuals or private organizations. 'Stop making a mockery of Memorial Day. Defend Nashville. Defend Tennessee. Defend this country, and stop the invasion,' Benton said during the press conference. Additionally, Metro Council's Immigrant Caucus posted a statement about Benton's press conference, criticizing other remarks he made about immigration and 'invasion.' 'Councilmember Benton does not deserve to hold public office,' the statement reads, in part. 'His conduct and comments are unbecoming of an elected official, particularly one representing a district with a significant Latino population.' ⏩ 'Antioch bows to no council member, to no Congressman, to no king,' Trent Benge, an Antioch resident, said at Tuesday night's meeting. 'Councilmember Benton must resign, and if he won't, we've got our work cut out for us.' News 2 received the following statement from Benton: 'I appreciate everyone having a right to their point of view, including myself. It's important that both sides respect each other enough to respond to what they say and not what they heard they said. Here's what some ignored to make their point. I have always said I support Legal immigration 100%. I love all my constituents and answer every call without asking someone's race or immigration status. That's up to law enforcement. Organizations standing against me should use that energy helping their members learn the path to legal status to avoid immigration enforcement. If citizens, entities, or other people even encourage an illegal alien to remain in the U.S. they are violating US code 1324 and can be arrested themselves. That was bipartisan legislation from 1995 supported by Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer. I understand some in my community are afraid. As much as I care, I must support Federal law enforcement. The State is developing an immigration department as well. We as leaders should not be cruel and give these in danger of enforcement actions a false sense of security that we have the authority to shield them from Immigration enforcement. I would also encourage these leaders to give me their list of laws they want me to ignore. I will continue to serve everyone in my District as I have been doing.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

‘Somebody knows where he is': Search continues for suspect in Nashville hit-and-run that left tourist seriously injured
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Metro police have identified a suspect in the hit-and-run that injured a 21-year-old man on a busy Nashville street. Police said warrants were obtained against 32-year-old Tony Lopez-Infante of Venezuela. Zach Carach was celebrating his 21st birthday in Nashville with his family when a vehicle hit him and then drove off. The suspect is still on the run. 'It's been physically and mentally exhausting for everybody,' Sheena Carach, Zach's mom, said. Zach has spent the last 16 days in the hospital. On May 18, Zach was visiting Nashville with his family and celebrating his 21st birthday. Zach looked both ways before crossing the street on Church Street. That's when the driver of this vehicle hit him and then drove off. 📧 Have breaking news come to you: → Two days later, the vehicle was found in Mt. Juliet at a rental facility. However, the driver has not been caught but has now been identified. 'I'm his mom, and I'm lighting a fire. And I'm begging and pleading with every single citizen of this country to get this out there,' Sheena said. Sheena has been sharing what she knows on social media and hopes someone will come forward with information. 'Somebody knows where he is, somebody knows where he's hiding, somebody is helping him hide.' Sheena also questions why Metro does not have LPR cameras that she believes could have caught the vehicle before it entered Mt. Juliet. 'Why does Nashville, as big as they are, not have this, but everyone else does? I can't stress it enough.' She said she will continue to fight for her son Zach at all costs. If you know where the suspect may be, you're asked to call Nashville Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. The suspect will face multiple charges, including driving without a license and insurance. He is also wanted in Williamson County for an outstanding probation violation warrant related to a theft arrest. ⏩ There's also a GoFundMe up for Zach to help with all of the medical costs.

LPR funding not included in Nashville Mayor's budget. Metro Council says debate isn't over
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — On Tuesday night, Metro Council will consider whether to change Mayor Freddie's O'Connell's budget. The changes include a property tax increase, however, it does not have funding for license plate readers. Metro Council approved the permanent use of LPR cameras last year, but after a six-month pilot, the program shut down. The cameras will not return unless a new contract is approved and funded. PREVIOUS | LPRs not listed in Nashville Mayor's proposed budget Some council members have encouraged private businesses and property owners to install their own cameras, as the city has not yet approved its own camera system. A new apartment complex coming to Hamilton Church Road in 2026 plans to include this technology. 'We want to make sure that you feel safe and secure; we want to build strong communities, and as I said, you can't build strong communities without being safe and secure,' said Alex Trent with Trent Development Group. District 32 Metro Councilwoman Joy Styles has encouraged private businesses and properties to install their own LPR technology while the program remains stalled citywide. 'They are working with us on great things like license plate readers being included and a gate being included,' Styles said. 'That is the accountability that we are missing in this whole city.' 'I think the private companies and apartments putting LPRs in place just shows how much Nashville wants and needs this type of technology,' added District 11 Council Member Jeff Eslick. Tennessee police departments share intel, use LPR cameras to track down theft suspect LPR cameras scan license plates and compare them to state and federal databases to help locate stolen vehicles and missing and wanted people. 'For the most part, it is going to help the everyday citizen, the taxpayer out there, live a safer life and feel better when they go to bed,' Eslick said. 'I think if we are going to add all this money to the budget and spend all this money to make people feel better, we should feel safer as well.' Eslick said funding for LPRs may come later. 'I think we are going to have to work out the budget, try to figure out where we are on that, and we can add LPRs,' Eslick told News 2. 'The amount that it costs to put the LPRs in place isn't something outside of what we could pull from something like the 4% fund.' | READ MORE | District 26 Council Member Courtney Johnston told News 2 that LPRs would not be included in her substitute budget proposal, saying in a statement: 'Putting that line item in any substitute would cause that substitute to fail with this council. That said, funding is not the issue. The issue is that we don't have support for LPRs from either the Mayor's office or the majority of the council to approve the contracts.' Eslick added that the conversation is not over. 'I think the budget is going to go through similar to what it is,' he explained. 'In a way, to kind of makeup for it, we will have LPRs on the agenda in the near future. Now, that doesn't mean it's going to pass. It's still going to be a struggle, but if we can just get it before us and start talking about it, I think we can find a way to get the common ground that we need.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
