President Trump announced Friday that Memphis would be the next city to get a federal policing surge — and the second following Washington, DC.
Tennessee’s second-largest metropolis, with a population of around 611,000 people, recorded 297 murders last year and has the nation’s highest violent crime rate among large cities.
According to FBI data, Memphis authorities recorded 2,501 violent crimes for every 100,000 residents in 2024.
“We’re going to Memphis. [It is] deeply troubled and the mayor is happy. The Democrat mayor [Paul Young] is happy. And the [Republican] Governor [Bill Lee] is happy,” Trump said on “Fox & Friends.”
