During a recent Homeland Security Taskforce roundtable, President Donald Trump commended the Memphis Safe Task Force for its impressive results and highlighted successes in other cities thanks to the deployment of the National Guard.
The President stated that crime numbers in Memphis are “down and half already”, calling the results “incredible”, even though “nobody thought it was possible.” Trump had previously described Memphis as “a very sick city” with “horrible” conditions.
Statistics from the U.S. Marshals Service seem to corroborate the President’s assertions about the significant crime decrease.
