孟菲斯市议会9票通过决议 吁ICE与田纳西国民警卫队撤出本市
孟菲斯市议会20日通过一项决议，呼吁美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）与田纳西州国民警卫队撤出孟菲斯；两支力量过去一年一直参与“孟菲斯安全特遣队”在当地的行动。决议以9票赞成、1名议员弃权通过，由议员库珀-萨顿与伊斯特-托马斯共同提出，本身不具法律效力，只是表达民选官员的立场。
伊斯特-托马斯在10月6日的委员会会议上表示，动议源于近期ICE在伯克莱尔一家酒吧的突袭中有121人被拘留，也正值特遣队进驻满一周年，她称过去12个月城市只有纷争与突袭，是时候把城市的控制权拿回来，并呼吁市政府与社区组织合作、发展可持续的公共安全方案。表决前已有议员公开表态支持，现场多数旁听者也表示赞成，讨论期间有两人因在席间喊叫被带离会场。
反对声音同样存在：议员卡纳莱指出，市议会无权让这些机构撤离，不愿给民众虚假希望；议员洛根只主张ICE撤出、不主张国民警卫队撤出，称选民反馈过去一年社区更安全、犯罪减少。议会整体上仍倾向保留田纳西州公路巡警与美国法警局等特遣队成员机构。
Memphis Council Passes Resolution 9-0 Calling for ICE and Tennessee National Guard to Leave the City
The Memphis City Council voted on October 20 to adopt a resolution calling on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Tennessee National Guard to leave Memphis, where both have operated for the past year as part of the Memphis Safe Task Force.
The measure passed with nine votes in favor and one abstention; it was introduced by Council members Cooper-Sutton and Easter-Thomas and is non-binding. Easter-Thomas said the motion grew out of an ICE raid at a Berclair bar that detained 121 people, coming as the task force marks one year in the city.
Council debate also surfaced opposition: one member said the council has no authority to remove the agencies and did not want to give residents false hope, and another supported ICE leaving but not the Guard, saying constituents feel safer after a year of lower crime. The council majority continues to back other task force agencies, including the Tennessee Highway Patrol and the U.S.
Marshals Service.
