Doing your job

And getting fired as a result. Bet there is a nice lawsuit here - from Nashville, TN station WSMV:

Nashville probation director terminated
News4 Investigates has confirmed Bob Green, the former director of the Nashville Probation department, has been terminated.

The action comes after News4 Investigates first uncovered emails showing collaboration between the department and the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement in which probation officers were providing information to help track down undocumented immigrants.

Getting fired for sollowing the published law of the land? And this:

Hollin said Green intends to fight for his job and has already filed a litigation hold that would require the courts to preserve all emails and texts in storage in anticipation of a lawsuit.

“No one is above the law. It is abundantly clear that Mr. Green followed the law, and what he did was approved by the Metro Department of Law. Any suggestion that he’s been insubordinate is false,” Hollin said.

Good that he saved all his emails. The discovery process can be a bitch - hope he gets a nice settlement for his efforts.
