President Donald Trump has done what he promised, sending in federal law enforcement agencies to Memphis, Tennessee, in an effort to crack down on crime similar to what he was able to do in Washington, D.C., recently.

Speaking from the Oval Office, President Trump announced that he was signing a Presidential Memorandum to help Republican Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee get a handle on crime in this major city in his state.

“Today, at the request of @GovBillLee of Tennessee… I’m signing a Presidential Memorandum to establish the Memphis Safe Task Force — and it’s very important because of the crime that’s going on,” Trump said.

“Not only in Memphis, but in many cities. And we are going to take care of all of them. This task force will be a replica of our extraordinarily successful efforts here [in D.C.].”

“The effort will include the National Guard, as well as the FBI, ATF, DEA, ICE, Homeland Security Investigations, and the U.S. Marshals,” Trump added.

“We are going to have DOJ led by U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee [Joseph C. Murray].”

“This team will deploy the full powers of federal law enforcement agencies… to restore public safety and get dangerous career criminals off our streets,” Trump continued.

“In 2024, Memphis had the highest violent crime rate, the highest property crime rate, and the third highest murder rate of any city in the nation.”

The White House shared some disturbing stats about the Memphis crime rate in a later post.

In 2024, Memphis had the highest violent crime rate, highest property crime rate, and the third-highest murder rate in the U.S.

Violent crime in Memphis increased in 2024, running 344% higher than the national average.

In 2024, Memphis’s murder rate was four times higher than Mexico City’s, 27 times higher than Havana’s, and 37 times higher than London’s.

At one point, Governor Lee, who was in the White House too, spoke about his struggle to rid the blue city in his red state of crime.

“I have been in office for seven years,” Lee said.

“I’m tired of crime holding the great city of Memphis back.”

During his appearance on “Fox and Friends” on Friday, Trump shared the news that the next blue city in line for a law enforcement surge was Memphis.

“Look at what we did in D.C.,” Trump said.

“We took D.C., probably the single-worst place in the country in terms of crime. There’s no crime. It’s a crime-free area.”

“D.C. is now a great, safe…now we’re fixing it up physically too,” he added, pointing out that they will even be fixing the potholes.

“We’re going to make it beautiful.”

“Almost every city that’s in trouble is run by Democrats,” Trump continued.

“We’re going to straighten out the crime in these cities. So, we’re going to Memphis. I’m going to announce that now…Memphis is deeply troubled… We’re going to fix that just like we did in Washington.”

The Memphis operation represents Trump’s expanding war against Democrat-controlled urban disasters across America.

While Republican Governor Lee requested federal assistance, the city itself remains under Democrat control with the predictable results.

Memphis residents have suffered under years of failed liberal policies that prioritize criminals over victims.

The statistics paint a horrifying picture of a city where law-abiding citizens live in constant fear.

When American cities become more dangerous than Mexico City or Havana, Democrat leadership has utterly failed.

Trump’s decisive action stands in stark contrast to the weak responses typically offered by liberal politicians.

The President’s approach combines overwhelming federal resources with clear accountability for results.

Unlike previous administrations that threw money at problems, Trump deploys actual law enforcement to arrest actual criminals.

The success in Washington, D.C. proves that Trump’s methods work when applied with sufficient determination and resources.

Memphis will soon experience the same dramatic transformation that shocked critics in the nation’s capital.

Governor Lee’s public exhaustion with Memphis crime reflects the frustration of red state leaders dealing with blue city dysfunction.

Seven years of trying to work within the existing system produced only more violence and chaos.

Trump’s federal intervention offers the breakthrough that local efforts could never achieve alone.

The comprehensive task force approach ensures no aspect of the crime problem escapes attention.

From street-level drug dealers to organized crime networks, every criminal enterprise will face coordinated federal pressure.

Memphis criminals who thought they were beyond reach will quickly discover their mistake.

The city’s law-abiding residents deserve the same safety and security enjoyed by Americans in well-governed areas.

Trump’s promise to extend this successful model to other troubled cities sends a clear message to Democrat mayors nationwide.

Clean up your act, or the federal government will clean it up for you.

The Memphis operation marks another victory for Trump’s America First agenda and his commitment to making America safe again.
