(The Center Square) – Tennessee Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson and House Speaker Cameron Sexton want to make it a state crime for public officials to release the names of immigration officers.

They filed a bill that would make revealing the names a Class E felony and allow the public official to be removed from office. The Tennessee General Assembly doesn’t go back in session until January.
