【Latest News: Trump's Special Task Force Against Crime in Memphis Arrests Thousands】
On November 24, 2025, Washington time, the Associated Press wrote in a press release:
President Donald Trump ordered a special task force against crime in Memphis, Tennessee, which has arrested thousands of people, intensifying the busy local court system and increasing pressure on already overcrowded prisons, according to officials. As cases progress, this pressure is expected to last for months or even years.
Since late September, hundreds of federal, state, and local law enforcement officers related to the Memphis Safety Task Force have conducted traffic stops, executed arrest warrants, and searched for fugitives in the city with a population of about 610,000. According to data provided by the task force and the Memphis Police Department, more than 2,800 people have been arrested, and over 28,000 traffic tickets have been issued.
The task force includes National Guard units, supported by Republican Governor Bill Lee and other supporters, who hope that this increased presence will reduce the city's crime rate, which has struggled with violent crime, including nearly 300 homicides last year and nearly 400 in 2023.
