Trump is deploying the National Guard to Memphis. Experts worry it’s becoming normal
President Donald Trump says he will send National Guard troops to Memphis to tackle crime, expanding on his administration’s recent police takeover in Washington, D.C. The move highlights Trump’s push to make urban crime a national issue, even as data shows violent crime has fallen in many cities. Memphis Mayor Paul Young, a Democrat, said he did not request Guard assistance but pledged to work with federal authorities. The deployment raises legal and political questions about federal authority in local law enforcement.
