Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, in coordination with federal, state and local law enforcement partners, have arrested 84 undocumented immigrants in the Nashville area since Saturday, an ICE spokesperson said in a statement emailed to The Tennessean, the news outlet reports. ICE said some of those arrested have “significant criminal histories” and outstanding final orders of removal. The agency has not released the names of those taken into custody and noted that all individuals arrested were either pending immigration proceedings or removal. “Protecting the safety and security of our communities remains a top priority for ICE,” Lindsay Williams, ICE media operations unit chief, said in the statement.
