A ProPublica and MLK50 analysis shows that just 17 of more than 800 immigration arrests made by Trumpâs crime-fighting task force in and around Memphis were for violent crimes.
82% of the immigration arrests followed a traffic stop.

"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested more than 800 people following tips âshared by federal airport security officials from the start of Donald Trump's presidency through February 2026, internal ICE data reviewed by âReuters show, a figure far above what was previously publicly known.
"The leads came from the Transportation Security Administration, which supplied ICE with records on more than 31,000 travelers for possible immigration enforcement, the data showed.
"Reuters could not determine how many arrests took place inside airports, although the TSA tips would mainly be useful in determining when a person would âbe traveling."

Death In ICE Custody
An Afghan man who had helped the American military in Afghanistan and was currently living in Texas died on Saturday, a day after being taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
ICE said in a Sunday news release that Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawalâs death is under active investigation. His case brings the number of in-custody ICE deaths in Texas to at least seven since December.

I wrote a blog post:
"In September 2018, my wife and I arrived in the United States to build our new lives. After 7 and a half years of paperwork, visa anxiety, job stress, we finally received our green cards in the mail this March."
"Based on the timelines that we knew about, from the experiences and stories of friends and family who had done this before us, we knew we were working with a ten-year timeline to try to get a green card. I'm not one of those people who lived all my life aspiring to live in America: far from it. I really didn't want to go. I had a very comfortable life in Singapore, even as a queer person. My Chinese and economic privilege brought me far there; the first few years of life in America were hell for me and I could not imagine ten years of that."
Ultimately, we took less time than a decade and the 7.5 years went by faster than that."
