One month into Trump's Memphis Safe Task Force, Kustoff called it a blueprint for the whole country and said he'd work to make the federal presence permanent.

51,000 arrests in July, up from 43,000 in June — the most of the Trump administration. To get there, agents targeted airline passengers, set up a checkpoint at a creek in a national forest, and stopped trucks in four states. Less than a third of people in ICE detention have a criminal conviction.
