Memphis Community Monitors Track Trump's Anti-Crime Task Force
Since the anti-crime task force directed by former President Donald Trump was deployed to Memphis in September 2025, a group of community monitorsβcomprising civil rights activists, attorneys, and residentsβhas been actively documenting the actions of federal agents. They claim there is systemic surveillance, unwarranted arrests, and violations of constitutional rights, as alleged in a Tennessee ACLU lawsuit filed in April 2026.
