U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday broadened a crackdown on what he has characterized since Charlie Kirk's assassination as organized left-wing efforts to stoke political violence.

The president has said his “blitz” here is meant to make the city safer for its residents. But the results haven’t decisively proven the federal government’s claim that it’s arresting “the worst of the worst” criminals.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is spearheading President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, is reportedly seeking over 300 office spaces across the United States. This move is interpreted as an effort to expand enforcement bases for cracking down on undocumented immigrants and accelerate strict law enforcement.

Several D.C. residents have sued the Trump administration; they claim that the federal government has "engaged in a pattern of illegal immigration arrests since August."

Economists have warned the president’s immigration policies could drive a labor shortage threatening to shrink U.S. GDP growth and amplify inflation.

Donald Trump’s White House budget office has prepped key federal agencies to brace for mass firings in the event of a government shutdown next week. The plans have reportedly been put in place if Congress fails to pass a spending bill before Oct.

One of the departments included in the Memphis Safe Task Force is Homeland Security, which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That has some Latinos worried that the surge will be used to target them at homes, schools and where they work as part of Trump’s plan for mass detentions and deportations of immigrants around the country.

The percentage of Hispanic voters that strongly support deportations of people in the U.S. illegally rose by 11 percent in two months, according to a new poll.
