STORYLINE:
Protesters were removed from a hearing at the Tennessee legislature on Wednesday as lawmakers were debating a broad immigration bill to help with President Donald Trump’s enforcement activities on illegal immigration.

During a hearing, Republican Rep. Chris Todd of Jackson, had three people in the audience kicked out during the debate, saying they were being disruptive. After about a half hour of listening to the women, state troopers carried the three out of the room.
