Claim: Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill that makes it a felony to vote against U.S. President Donald Trump ’s immigration policies.

The bill does not include a blanket directive that criminalizes voting against all of Trump 's immigration policies, nor does it criminalize votes from everyday people.

Gov. Bill Lee had not signed the bill into law as of this writing.

While on the campaign trail, Trump vowed to end sanctuary cities during a Fox News town hall.

On Jan. 20, 2025 , Trump signed an executive order denying sanctuary cities federal funding.

The legislation also does not explicitly name Trump or his administration.

However, the Tennessee bill doesn't explicitly prevent lawmakers from voting against sanctuary cities.
