CRIME & LAW

Federal agents are set to arrive in Memphis next week : NPR

Federal agents from 13 U.S. agencies, including the FBI and DEA, will be deployed to Memphis starting Monday as part of a federal crackdown on crime. The operation, planned for months, will also involve 300 Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers. While the National Guard will offer support, they won't make arrests and will only be armed if requested. Mayor Paul Young acknowledged community concerns but aims to ensure effective resource use, highlighting previous crime reduction efforts and existing task forces.
