President Donald Trump signed an order deploying the National Guard to Memphis, Tennessee, aiming to combat crime in the city, mirroring his approach in Washington, D.C. The deployment, which will involve a special task force with various federal agencies, was announced with Republican Governor Bill Lee present, although details on the timing and specifics of the enforcement efforts were not immediately available.

While Memphis’s Democratic mayor expressed opposition to the deployment, Trump indicated a willingness to send troops to other cities, including Chicago, regardless of local support.

For years, Republican lawyer Mike Davis has advocated for federal criminal investigations into prominent Democrats. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently approved several investigations, including those targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James and Senator Adam Schiff, potentially aligning with Davis’s goals.

While Davis hopes these actions lead to indictments, legal experts caution that securing convictions would be challenging given the evidence needed. These investigations are viewed by some as politically motivated distractions.

Despite appeals from affected governors, the agency’s future remains uncertain as the administration continues to push for reduced federal reliance.
