In a decisive move to address rising crime, Trump has ordered the deployment of the National Guard to Memphis, Tennessee, claiming it mirrors his previous actions in Washington, D.C. During his announcement, he hinted that Chicago might be the next city targeted for similar federal intervention. Local business leaders in Memphis have expressed support for the deployment, while some officials, including the Memphis mayor, have raised concerns about the necessity of such measures. This deployment is part of Trump’s broader strategy to combat crime in urban areas identified as having high violence rates. The announcement has sparked discussions about the implications of military presence in cities and the potential for further deployments in other locations, including Chicago and St. Louis.
