ICE arrested numerous "worst of the worst" criminal illegal aliens in Memphis, Tennessee, as part of a crackdown on violent crime. These arrests targeted individuals accused of serious offenses like child molestation, gang activity, and domestic violence. The Department of Homeland Security highlighted Memphis's high murder rate and the need for enhanced public safety. President Trump established a Memphis Safe Task Force and deployed the National Guard to support local law enforcement. The National Guard began patrolling Memphis on October 10th amidst the city's significant violent crime problem. This deployment faced legal challenges, with state officials filing a lawsuit against Governor Bill Lee. The lawsuit argued against the Governor's unilateral use of the National Guard for civilian law enforcement. Memphis Mayor Paul Young acknowledged the governor and president’s authority to deploy the National Guard, while also stating he did not request it. Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel announced over 28,000 violent criminals had been arrested due to the administration's crackdown. The President indicated further deployments to other cities to combat crime. The operation's goal is to make American cities safer and reduce violence.
