Commercial Appeal - Cohen to travel with Obama to Nashville
December 8, 2014
WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen will fly with President Barack Obama aboard Air Force One to Nashville on Tuesday when Obama goes to Music City to deliver a speech on immigration.
Obama is scheduled to talk about his recent executive actions to protect 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation and allow them to obtain work permits. The president will speak at Casa Azafran, a community center and home to a number of immigrant-related nonprofits in Nashville’s most international and socially diverse district.
Cohen’s office said Obama asked the Memphis Democrat to make the trip with him to Nashville.
U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, a Nashville Democrat, also will be traveling with Obama, Cooper’s office said.
