Hegseth to Deploy Federal Agents in Memphis Amid Rising Crime Concerns

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is set to travel to Memphis, Tennessee, this week to meet with troops and coordinate a federal crackdown on crime and disorder in the city. The move comes after an 18-year-old suspect, recently released without bail, was accused of fatally shooting a Memphis police officer. Read More

Hegseth sharply criticized the local district attorney, calling policies that allow violent offenders back on the streets “woke” and blaming them for endangering both officers and residents.

“We’re sending in federal agents, and whenever possible, we’ll bring federal charges to ensure violent criminals are kept in custody,” he said. “If anyone lays a hand on a federal officer, they will be prosecuted and held in federal jail. That’s how we stop crime.”

The Secretary emphasized that the operation will involve close collaboration with the Memphis Police Department, praising local officers as “outstanding partners.” He added that the effort will include sharing intelligence and removing repeat offenders from the streets.

During the trip, Hegseth and President Donald Trump plan to meet with the mayor and other community leaders to outline a joint strategy aimed at restoring safety in Memphis.

“It has to stop,” Hegseth said. “We’re going to work hand in hand with local leadership to make Memphis safe again.”

He also drew comparisons to other cities, criticizing leadership in Portland and Chicago for not requesting similar federal intervention.
