WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday signed a memorandum to deploy the National Guard to Democrat-led Memphis, Tennessee, to combat crime.
“The city of Memphis, Tennessee, is suffering from a high rate of violent crime that exceeds the ability of local government to effectively respond,” said the memorandum signed by the president in the Oval Office of the White House.
In recent months, Memphis has become the third U.S. city to deploy National Guard troops, following Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.
The memorandum calls for the creation of a task force tasked with ensuring safety in Memphis, including through close coordination with state and local officials in Tennessee, Memphis and neighboring jurisdictions.
Memphis ranked first in the United States for violent crime in 2024, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a White House fact sheet noted. “Memphis has some of the highest rates of murder, robbery, aggravated assault, and property crime in the nation,” the document said. –0–
