<p>The Trump administration&#8217;s crime crackdown in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-targets-memphis-crime-with-strategy-proven-in-washington-d-c">Memphis</a> led to the arrests of serious illegal immigrant criminals, The Daily Wire has learned.</p>
<p>Illegal immigrant gang members, pedophiles, rapists, domestic abusers, and drug traffickers have all been taken off the streets by federal immigration authorities deployed by President Donald Trump to Memphis in recent weeks.</p>
<p>“Memphis has suffered from historic levels of violent crime including a murder rate that is four times higher than Mexico City. No American should be afraid to walk down the streets in their own neighborhoods,” Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>“In Memphis, DHS law enforcement is working hand in glove with Attorney General Bondi to enhance public safety, fight crime, and provide much-needed support to our law enforcement partners at the local, state, and federal level. The Trump administration WILL make America safe again.”</p>

<p>&#8220;We continue to have targeted operations in many, many cities, but also very focused on those where challenges are still remaining, such as Portland, Chicago, we&#8217;re in Memphis as well, we&#8217;re going to San Francisco at the direction of the president as well,&#8221; DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said at a press conference Monday.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to continue to make sure we&#8217;re focused not just on those cities that we hear about on the news, but also in cities like Sarasota that we make sure that law enforcement officers in every single community get the chance to continue to get these criminals off of their streets,&#8221; she added.</p>
