ICE Task Force Fires Tear Gas Into Memphis Home With Toddlers Inside, Attorney Says

An immigration attorney says ICE and the Memphis Safe Task Force fired tear gas into a Berclair residence during an operation tied to a police chase involving teens, with two toddlers inside the home. Everyone in the house was arrested; the children and their mother (asylum case pending) were later released, while a teen with Special Immigrant Juvenile Status was detained. The attorney raised legal and child-safety concerns over deploying tear gas into an occupied home. Authorities have not publicly detailed the operation, and local media indicate updates are forthcoming.
