NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — President Donald Trump's plan to send the National Guard into Memphis for a crime-fighting push has some residents worried that it won't help people who are struggling and could scare off visitors. Others disagree with that sentiment so much that they're offering free barbecue for the troops before they even arrive.
Before Trump signed an order on the deployment Monday, the White House sent out a list of news reports, some of them documenting residents' support for the measure and others chronicling instances of violent crime in the city.
