• DOJ’s breakdown included arrests for homicide, sex offenses, narcotics and firearms, along with 94 administrative ICE warrants and 125 warrant pickups.
• County officials said about 434 arrests and 200 citations were processed over the weekend, and judges are considering night court and retired‑judge assistance to handle mounting dockets.
• Memphis Police are working alongside federal agents, with Mayor Paul Young previously noting 167 additional MPD arrests in week one, even as city data show year‑over‑year declines in several crime categories.
