US President Donald Trump has established a DC-style National Guard task force to take on crime in Memphis, Tennessee.
The Democratic-led city is the second to face a Trump administration crackdown on crime, following Washington DC.
Trump has vowed to "fix" the city after shelving plans for a similar operation in Chicago, reportedly due to opposition from local and state officials.
Memphis’ mayor Paul Young has voiced opposition to the plan, arguing that crime is already falling without federal intervention.
The president said on Monday, however, that Memphis is "overrun" with carjackings, robberies and shootings, as well as other crimes.
