Looking At The Results

Posted on by

On Tuesday, The Washington Free Beacon posted an article about the results of placing the National Guard in Memphis.

According to a News Nation article posted on Tuesday, “Memphis had the nation’s highest violent crime rate in 2024, with a total crime rate 344% above the national average, according to officials. The city recorded nearly 300 homicides last year and nearly 400 in 2023.”

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

Since the Trump administration first deployed federal officers to Memphis in late September, the city has seen a 48 percent decrease in homicides, Attorney General Pam Bondi said during a press conference on Monday. The “Memphis Safe Task Force” has also led to a 45 percent year-over-year decrease in “overall serious crime,” a 49 percent drop in sexual assaults, and nearly 3,000 arrests, she told reporters, adding that the task force has recovered more than 100 missing children in less than two months.

…The news of the task force’s results comes as Bondi and the Trump administration face pushback and legal challenges from Tennessee Democrats. A state judge blocked the administration’s deployment of the National Guard in Memphis earlier this month after critics argued that the move violated Tennessee law.

When the Founding Fathers wrote the U.S. Constitution, they assumed that the individual states and cities would work to keep their cities and states safe. Unfortunately, that has not always been the case. Judges have not always upheld the law, and people who should not be walking the streets are walking the streets. I have been told by law enforcement that the majority of crimes are committed by repeat offenders. If we lock up first-time offenders, they are not able to repeat offend. I don’t like to see the National Guard used in this way, but if the local government won’t clean up their city, then someone else has to step in and do it.

Good News From Memphis

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported the following:

The Memphis Safe Task Force, working under the coordination of the U.S. Marshals Service, has rescued 101 missing children and cleared more than 1,000 outstanding warrants in just 40 days.

Can we send the U.S. Marshals Service to every other city in America to rescue children?

The article reports:

According to News Nation, U.S. Marshals have arrested 2,342 individuals across Memphis on charges ranging from homicide to narcotics trafficking, firearms violations, and sex offenses. Of the cleared warrants, 203 involved firearms and 264 were narcotics-related.

Among the 101 children rescued was a 15-year-old boy missing since September 2, last seen walking along Highway 64 in Tennessee.

Thanks to the task force’s collaboration with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), the teen was discovered living in a van with his father in Hawaii, thousands of miles from home, according to WREG.

The father, who has a long criminal record in Hawaii and California, including domestic violence, abuse, drugs, battery, and burglary, had been hiding out at a construction site where he worked.

When confronted, he fled the scene, leaving the teenager behind. The child was found safe by the Honolulu Police Department on November 6, 2025, and is now awaiting return to Tennessee.

The article concludes:

“We are happy that we have been able to use our fugitive hunting skills to assist local and state authorities with finding these missing children,” said Emily Williams, U.S. Marshals spokesperson. “What a testament to our partnerships to be able to work these cases together. While investigative work is tedious, locating missing and endangered children is one of the things we are most proud of.”

This is what happens when law enforcement focuses on investigating criminals rather than concerned parents who attend churches or school board meetings.
