Context
What happened: The Trump administration sent federal and state law enforcement, including National Guard members, into Memphis as the Memphis Safe Task Force. A one-year review shows falling crime alongside claims of racial profiling and immigration arrests.
Key numbers: Task force grew to over 2,600 personnel and 42
Why it matters: The administration cites the numbers as proof its approach works, but the review notes crime was already declining and that critics point to excessive force, civil rights violations, and profiling, with a lawsuit filed and fatal shootings under investigation.
