Trump announces the next city where he’s sending federal agents
By sgubitosinyp
President Trump announced Friday that Memphis would be the next city to get a federal policing surge — and the second following Washington, DC.
“We’re going to Memphis. Memphis is that’s the next — deeply troubled and the mayor is happy. The Democrat mayor, the mayor is happy. And the governor, Tennessee, the governor is happy,” Trump said on “Fox & Friends.”
“Deeply troubled — we’re going to fix that, just like we did Washington. I would have preferred going to Chicago,” Trump said.

Trump said the move was pitched to him by a railroad executive, serving on the board of FedEx.
“He said, ‘When I walk one block to my hotel. They won’t allow me to do it. They put me in an armored vehicle with bulletproof glass to take me one block.’ He said, ‘It’s so terrible.'”
Trump added: “So we’re going to Memphis. I’m just announcing that now, and we’ll straighten that out, National Guard and anybody else we need. And by the way, we’ll bring in the military too if we need it. But National Guard — but Memphis is, look, it’s a great music city, it’s, you know, home of Elvis and everything else.”
