Former probation director sues Metro, judge

Former Nashville General Sessions Court Probation Director Robert Green is suing the Metro Government and Judge Lynda Jones, one year after he was fired by the court.

His firing followed news reports showing that he collaborated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, providing information that helped federal authorities track down undocumented immigrants. But in the new lawsuit, filed in federal court last week, Green called the ICE story “pretext” and claimed instead that he was fired for taking medical leave.
