On May 27, 2025, a press conference titled “Stop the Invasion” was held at the Tennessee State Capitol. The event was led by Congressman Ogles, who emphasized the need to address what he described as an “illegal alien invasion.”
Congressman Ogles stated, “Ending the illegal alien invasion unleashed by Democrats and kept alive by obstructionist, activist mayors like Freddie O’Connell. That’s why I brought together patriots from every level of Tennessee’s government—from city councilmen to state legislators to federal law enforcement officials.” He further advocated for support of President Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), asserting that anyone opposing ICE’s efforts is “aiding foreign enemies” and should be accountable.
The conference also featured key figures from ICE. Acting Field Office Director Brian Acuna and Assistant Field Office Director Larry Adams were present on stage. Their area of responsibility includes operations in Tennessee.
Ogles concluded with a call to action: “It’s time to take back our country, secure Tennessee, and make America safe again.”
