Well this isn’t good. Unlike LA and DC, the governor is supporting this and will allow federal agencies to conduct far more extensive and invasive operations.
Some nice excerpts, emphasis mine:
> here is hereby established a Memphis Safe Task Force (Task Force), whose objective shall be to end street and violent crime in Memphis to the greatest possible extent through the promotion and facilitation of hypervigilant policing, aggressive prosecution, complex investigations, financial enforcement, and **large-scale saturation of besieged neighborhoods with law enforcement personnel**
…
> coordinate strict enforcement of applicable quality-of-life, nuisance, and public-safety laws, including those laws prohibiting assault, battery, larceny, graffiti and other vandalism, **unpermitted disturbances and demonstrations**, noise, trespassing, public intoxication, drug possession, sale, vagrancy and use, and traffic violations, to make Memphis safe and secure again.
