- On Monday, President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of the National Guard to Memphis as part of an expanded initiative to address crime in the city.

- Trump said the effort will replicate his prior crackdown in Washington and include officials from the FBI, DEA, ICE, and U.S. Marshals joining a special task force.
- Trump declared, "We're sending in the big force now" and added, "We want to save these places," while Tennessee Governor Bill Lee endorsed the troop deployment.
- The order marks a test of presidential power amid local pushback, and Trump indicated Chicago would likely be next for similar federal actions.
