Tennessee legal battles over redistricting and immigration

Entities: Tennessee · National Immigration Law Center · American Civil Liberties Union · Tennessee General Assembly · U.S. District Court of the Middle District of Tennessee

Overview

In late July 2026 a three‑judge federal panel upheld Tennessee’s newly drawn congressional map, finding no evidence of racial gerrymandering and allowing a plan that is expected to give Republicans a 9‑0 advantage in the state’s House delegation. Two days later civil‑rights groups, including the ACLU, renewed a lawsuit seeking to block a Tennessee law that criminalizes unauthorized immigration, while also noting the recent court decision that left the redistricting map in place. Together the filings illustrate an ongoing series of legal challenges to Tennessee’s state‑level policies on both electoral representation and immigration enforcement.
