President Deploys National Guard to Memphis, Eyes Chicago Next

Donald Trump issued a presidential memorandum ordering federal law enforcement and Tennessee National Guard troops to deploy in Memphis, citing concerns about rising crime. The move expands his administration’s use of federal forces in domestic policing operations. Trump also hinted that Chicago could be the next city to see such deployment, stirring debate over civil liberties and state-federal authority. Critics warn the tactic risks violating norms that normally keep the military out of civilian law enforcement. Supporters, however, argue that local governments are failing to keep communities safe and federal help is necessary. The decision adds urgency to broader national conversations about public safety, federalism, and crime policy.
