The people detained – for whatever reason – are our neighbors. The harshly negative reaction to Sunday’s ICE raid reflects our community’s assessment that ICE needs to leave Memphis. Governor Lee needs a job when his term ends so he is acting with immigration like he did with redistricting, helping Trump.” # # # | 1 | 2026-09-01T09:48:49Z | 2026-09-01T09:49:51Z |
