A notice from last September by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that a total of 573 “noncitizens” from Guatemala, Venezuela, Honduras, and Mexico intended on traveling to Franklin, Nashville, Davidson County, and Murfreesboro following their release from DHS custody.
The notice, dated as the week ending September 16, 2023, is titled “Intended Destination of Noncitizens Processed at the Southwest Border.”
The notice said it was sent to the City of Franklin “for planning purposes,” however, adds that the data “may not accurately reflect individuals who will travel to that destination, remain at that destination, or when they may arrive.”
Noncitizens, according to DHS, are asked to provide their “intended destination in the U.S.” to CBP or ICE before being released from DHS custody.
