My hope is that Chicago can benefit from the federal assistance just like Memphis is.


quote
The Memphis Safe Task Force was established to combat violent crime in Memphis through coordinated efforts among federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.
Background
The Memphis Safe Task Force was created in response to alarming levels of violent crime in Memphis, which has been reported to have the highest rates of violent crime per capita in the United States. In 2024, Memphis faced significant challenges, including high rates of murder, robbery, and aggravated assault, prompting local and state leaders to seek federal assistance to restore public safety.



This started this past Monday, already it's paying great dividends. Areas I would not consider visiting or even driving/riding through are safer. We haven't gotten to where we need to be yet but, the results are encouraging. Gang activities, drive by shootings, car jackings and violence has almost come to a halt. Memphis may have a safe future if this can be maintained after the federal assistance is gone. Many doubt Memphis will stay safe, local law enforcement has not been able to make Memphis safe in the past, but I guess we'll see.

Great Idea ! Burn Chicago to the ground when rioting Antifa terrorists are wasted.
So, provoke Antifa violence, retaliate on them viciously without mercy, arrest them, deport them to Cochise AZ, seven years of busting rocks.
Totally fair, totally just, do the crime..
Twenty million indentured laborers, building the Wall, coast to coast, a project to Make America Greater Again ! Huge. Bigger than the Pyramids !

Guerrilla warfare tactics, provoking an armed response, entirely predictable.

Neighboring counties are now and have been for quite a while been growing in population by huge margins. My own home in the next county north of Shelby County/Memphis has exploded in population growth. The area I live in is close to the Golf Club where mostly million dollar homes. Mine is not included in that price range. Every person I speak to says the same thing. They mostly work in Memphis but moved here to get away from the Memphis crime. BTW, they are not middle class but upper middle class and wealthy people/homeowners. Even during less than good economic times, buying outside Shelby County/Memphis is still keeping housing prices very high but, not in Shelby County. Thanking the Feds for stepping in with assistance is a very welcomed move. It appears to be working.

Do we need to be asking what's going to happen after "stuff is cleaned up"?
I'm guessing the National Guard is not expected to be there (in any of these cities) permanently.
Won't the criminals just lay low, and wait for the "all clear"? Or are they living paycheck to paycheck - errrr... robbery to robbery - too?

One would hope they would move on to different locations, but I addressed that earlier. I don't want Atlanta's criminals to come out into the country.
(I guess the real question is whether the LEOs are working reactively, or proactively. Are they seeking out criminals? Or just stopping crooks "in the act"?)

Two of them were ramming ICE vehicles with theirs. This is leftist weaponized brainwashing.

Steve,
My understanding is, the Federal force is working with Memphis Police and Shelby County Sheriff to round up already accused criminals who are not in custody along with any illegal aliens they come across. The Governor of TN has promised $100 million to help Shelby County and Memphis get and maintain control. I am not aware of how long the Feds (to include NG) will be here but, I'm glad they came. I'm sure the majority of criminals are laying low but, if they are known to the LEOs, their time on the streets will hopefully be short. It was reported that a couple hundred Shelby County Inmates have been transferred to the State Prisons and I do know that a Private Prison is being reopened for ICE close to me in Mason, TN. What I do know is, Gang Activity, Car Jackings, Murders, Rapes are almost non-existent this past week. Sure hope it stays that low. But, the Feds are always welcomed back.

Thanks for the clarification. But I also am curious about another aspect of this.

Since ICE is also in town, and the National Guard is considered a Federal entity (am I mistaken about that?) are attacks upon those departments - as happened in Chicago - considered Federal crimes?
Federal prison is "the big time". Not like the county - or even state - lockup.

I don't have sufficient information to answer many questions. What was reported was that NG as a whole will not be armed but, there will be some that are being deputized as Federal Marshals and those will be armed. Around 300 TN Highway Patrol Officers were brought in, we know ICE is here and several other Feds from different alphabet agencies. Anything else would simply be assumptions on my part. Memphis City Commision came out against this, the County followed their lead. I'm simply amazed those in City and County leadership won't gladly accept help in protecting the lives and property of their base.
