In its latest crackdown against illegal immigration, federal agents arrested 11 Iranian foreign nationals in 48 hours, including one watchlisted individual — part of a series of targeted operations spanning eight states and nine cities nationwide.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations that began May 2 have resulted in the arrest of 544 migrants in the Nashville area. The number of arrests swelled following an operation during the week of June 13, according to Lindsay Williams, a spokesperson for ICE's Southern District.
