MEMPHIS—Law enforcement agencies are working together to patrol high-crime areas, and residents are reporting significantly increased levels of police activity, with dozens of unmarked vehicles seen around town since President Donald Trump ordered federal agents to assist state and local officials in Tennessee.
Joint investigations led to 153 arrests, including at least five gang members, over the past four days, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters during a briefing on Oct. 3. Authorities also recovered five missing children and seized 48 illegal firearms.
