President Donald Trump announced late on September 15th, 2025, that he is deploying the National Guard to Memphis to address crime, stating, "we're gonna be doing Chicago probably next." The announcement, made within a 14-minute reporting window ending at 9:02 PM UTC, also indicated that the Memphis effort will include the FBI. Trump's remarks were shared via X (formerly Twitter) by multiple sources, including @zerohedge and @atrupar. Earlier in the reporting window, from 8:47 PM to 9:02 PM UTC, Trump also commented on his own hand, noting that he was "covering his right hand again." This statement comes amidst a period of heightened political rhetoric following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Separately, an X account named @PollTracker2024 posted commentary regarding a Senate race strategy, stating, "POV: You gave up a Senate race where you would’ve easily won your party’s nomination just to get 1-3% in Iowa." These developments follow previous reports detailing federal responses to political violence and related investigations. On September 15th, 2025, Stephen Miller of the Department of Justice and Homeland Security vowed to dismantle domestic terror networks responsible for political violence, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Tyler Robinson, the suspect in Kirk's assassination, was also charged with making threats in New Mexico after his alleged confession.
