MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller are on their way to Memphis.
Our photographers captured them Wednesday afternoon leaving an air force base in Maryland.
Bondi said she had texted with Memphis Mayor Paul Young the night before.
"We're really looking forward to going to Memphis today. We know, President Trump knows, when the government shuts down, crime doesn't shut down, and so we're not going to let that impact what we're doing," Bondi said prior to boarding the plane.
Hegseth did not make any comment before boarding.
In a social media post Wednesday morning, Bondi said that in two days, the Memphis Safe Task Force has made 53 arrests and confiscated 20 firearms from Memphis streets.
