Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris accused the Memphis Safe Task Force of unlawful stops and racial profiling on Tuesday.

Harris held a press briefing to discuss the Memphis Safe Task Force arrests since the start of its third week of enforcement and the growing concerns the Memphis Hispanic community has regarding the task force.

He said members of the Hispanic community are being targeted, regardless of their legal status.

Immigrant Justice Program Director, Colton Bane, of Community Legal Center’s Immigrant Justice Program said he’s representing several clients who were racially profiled and arrested, despite their legal status.

Bane says there have been reports of law enforcement not returning licenses to Hispanic drivers after traffic stops.

“Not only are they racially profiling and pulling over Hispanic drivers with no cause, they’re then also creating future legal problems for these individuals,” said Bane.
