President Trump Announces Federal Crackdown on Crime in Memphis, Tennessee
Memphis, TN - September 12, 2025: President Donald Trump has announced that Memphis will be the next city targeted for a federal law enforcement push to combat crime and illegal immigration. According to sources, Trump made the announcement earlier today, stating that Memphis is "deeply troubled" and in need of intervention.
The president's decision comes after he placed Washington D.C.'s police department under federal control last month. Trump has been critical of rising crime rates in major cities across the US, and Memphis has seen a significant increase in violent crimes this year.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, a Republican, has reportedly expressed support for Trump's decision to intervene in Memphis. However, it remains unclear what specific measures will be taken by federal authorities to address the city's crime issues.
The move is likely to spark controversy and debate over the role of federal law enforcement in local matters. This development marks another step in Trump's efforts to take a more active role in addressing crime and immigration in US cities.
