2 days agoTrump orders National Guard troops to Memphis in latest military deployment
US President Donald Trump will extend federal law enforcement action to the city of Memphis, Tennessee, in a move that will include sending in National Guard troops and setting up a Memphis State Task Force to tackle crime, though police say overall criminal offences are at a 25-year low. Trump announced the move in an executive order on Monday to rid Memphis of what he called the tremendous levels of violent crime that have overwhelmed its local government's ability to respond effectively.
