Memphis Safe Task Force, a collection of about a dozen federal law enforcement agencies ordered by the President Donald Trump According to the US Attorney General, to fight crime in Memphis, started arresting on Monday Palm Bondi,
Bondi said in a social media post on Wednesday that the task force made more than 50 arrests during a two -day period. Agents involving immigration and drug enforcement personnel have started serving criminal arrest warrants along with state agencies such as the Tennessi highway petrol to create traffic stops on the streets of the state and state. Bondi said more than 200 officers were deputed.
Task Force is part of a big attempt to use by President Donald Trump National Guard Troops in American cities and growth federal law enforcement, especially by democrats.
Trump has called the move necessary and attacked Democrats on crime and immigration policies. After the use of National Guard soldiers in Columbia and Los Angeles districts, he mentioned Portland, OreganThreatened the force of apocalypse in the form of “war-conversion” and in Chicago.
The Mobile Command Center for US Marshal Service and Tennessi Bureau of Investigation have been established in a staging area for the task force. A spokesman for Marshall said that the service would issue a periodic update which includes arrest number, fee type and participating agencies.
In an email at the Associated Press, Supervisory Deputy US Marshal Ryan Guay said, “In addition to federal resources in the memphis, it is appropriate to expect an increase in warrant enforcement activity, including extended inter -cooperation cooperation, especially targeting violent criminals who pose a threat to public safety,”.
The Task Force also includes the Tenasi National Guard. The Republican village city has said that there would be no tank, and Lee said that guard soldiers would not arrest or armed until the local authorities requested it.
It is not clear that when guard members will start their work with Memphis Police Department. Police chief Serelin “CJ” Davis said during a Town-Hall meeting on Tuesday evening that it could be a few weeks.
Memphis has experienced a high number of violent crimes such as carriageing and murder in recent years, but both Democratic and Republican officials have mentioned that the city is decreasing this year in some crime categories.
Opponents of the deployment say that it is an unnecessary federal business in the majority-black city that instead requires more money to address poverty and other drivers of crime. Supporters see this as a welcome infusion of law enforcement for a city, despite recent reforms in crime figures, still needs help in struggling with violence.
In Oregon, the members of the National Guard of that state informed for duty on Wednesday. Pentagon said in a statement, “Sainiks were preparing to support American immigration and customs enforcement and other US government personnel, including federal law enforcement and federal tasks to protect in Oregon.”
