Federal agents on Monday removed a group of workers from Memphis taco truck TacoNGanas. Video footage shows four men in hoodies enter the food truck and usher employees outside. In a social media post, TacoNGanas wrote that it was not aware of what prompted the incident. “We have heard from the employees. They’ve been told they’re being detained by ICE,” the post reads. “We don’t know if the men you see in the video work for ICE or for someone else. You’ll see they have no uniforms, do not show any badge or ID, and did not leave any identifying information or paperwork.” The city of Memphis released a statement, saying, "Although these matters don’t fall under our jurisdiction, we reached out to federal authorities out of concern. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) confirmed that this action was carried out by federal agents." The Daily Memphian has the story.
