U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller have converged on Memphis, Tennessee, to meet with federal agents forming a crime fighting task force there. Bondi says via social media that the Memphis Safe Task Force made more than 50 arrests over a two-day period. The agents include personnel from immigration and drug enforcement. They have begun serving criminal arrest warrants while teaming with state agencies on traffic stops. Bondi says more than 200 officers have been deputized. The Tennessee National Guard is also supposed to begin working with Memphis Police, although it is unclear how soon that will happen.
