Sept. 12 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump said Friday he plans to deploy U.S. National Guard troops to Memphis.
"We're going to Memphis. Memphis is deeply troubled," Trump said during a TV appearance on Fox and Friends.
Trump has previously sent the National Guard and other federal resources to major U.S. cities like Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. in an attempt to crackdown on crime and illegal immigration. Officials from both cities have challenged the moves in court.
"We're gonna fix that [Memphis] just like we did Washington," Trump said on Friday, adding he will send the "National Guard and anybody else we need. And by the way, we'll bring in the military too, if we need it."
