Sheriff Offers 'Clarification of Recent Reports'
Tue., Feb. 3 2009 @ 9:50AM
In an email to Metro Council members, Sheriff Daron Hall insists he had no idea he was appearing before the "uptown Klan" when he went to the Piccadilly cafeteria to give yet another speech about his shameless program to round up poor brown people in Nashville. The sheriff's email, which arrived under the subject line "Clarification of Recent Reports," follows:
Dear Friends,
Late last week, I received an inquiry about one of the many public speaking engagements I have attended over the last two years regarding the 287(g) immigration enforcement program. It was only at that particular time that I learned of views supported by the group I spoke to in November.
In an ongoing effort to educate the community since the program's implementation in 2007, I have spoken to more than 100 organizations regarding 287 (g). The request that came from the Middle Tennessee Council of Conservative Citizens was no different. They made a request to my assistant asking me to speak about our program and it was scheduled. I went to Piccadilly cafeteria, explained the program, answered a few questions of this group of 20, and then left. At no time before, during, or after did I have any idea what views this organization supported. Keep in mind, I was speaking about the Davidson County Sheriff's Office immigration program during this meeting - there was never any discussion of their purpose or mission.
Understand my reputation both professionally and personally as well as the reputation of the DCSO is of the utmost importance and I would never knowingly tarnish that reputation. I have now implemented necessary steps to avoid similar problems in the future. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
I appreciate your support and understanding.
Sincerely,
Daron
