NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two federal committees will be conducting an investigation into Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell for allegedly "aiding and abetting" illegal immigration, Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles announced on Monday.

The Congressman, along with a gaggle of Tennessee elected officials at the state level and representatives from law enforcement agencies, announced the Homeland Security and Judiciary committees will look into the mayor, his conduct and whether or not the city used federal dollars "in criminal enterprise" related to immigration.

"I will not back down. I will not relent. I will always stand with law enforcement," Ogles said during a Memorial Day press conference inside the state capitol building. "I want my community, and I want my country back."
