The federal agency leading the Memphis Safe Task Force appears to no longer be reporting the number of immigration-related arrests made as part of the federal-state-local law enforcement surge.
As recently as Oct. 16, The Daily Memphian was receiving the number of “administrative,” or immigration-related, arrests from a U.S. Marshals Service spokesperson, along with arrest totals for other categories.
That day, task force officers had made a cumulative 181 administrative arrests since the task force began Sept. 29, accounting for about 19% of the task force’s total arrests at the time.
