In this file photo from Sept. 2023, a police car in Memphis is shown on the scene of a reported carjacking. Trump announced Memphis would be the next target for a federal law enforcement push. “Memphis is that’s the next city, deeply troubled,” Trump said in an interview on “Fox & Friends” Friday morning. “We’re going to fix that, just like we did Washington.”After placing D.C.’s police department under federal control, Trump had threatened he would take similar actions in other cities. However, the president’s ability to intervene in other cities is limited since governors control the deployment of National Guard troops in their states.
