Memphis anti-crime task force became ICE crackdown, report says

An anti-crime task force in Memphis last fall quietly transformed into a crackdown by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, leading to widespread immigration arrests, the report said.

The report said a majority of those arrested had no criminal convictions.

President Donald Trump has said he wants to replicate the approach in other cities, the report said.
