Memphis Democrats push back on Trump's law enforcement surge<br /><br />Memphis city council members pushed back on President Donald Trump’s plan to deploy federal law enforcement and National Guard troops on Sept. 18, 2025. Trump established a Memphis Safe Task Force on Sept. 15, modeled after the recent federal law enforcement surge in the nation's capital, as part of a broader initiative to combat urban violence. The initiative will deploy a broad coalition of federal agencies - including the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security and US Marshals - alongside the National Guard and local law enforcement. Attorney General Pam Bondi will lead the operation, Trump said.<br /><br />REUTERS / STRINGR.
