flag Tennessee appeals a ruling that deemed its 2023 National Guard deployment in Memphis unlawful, arguing it was necessary for public safety amid rising crime.

flag Tennessee is appealing a lawsuit challenging the 2023 deployment of the National Guard in Memphis, arguing the move was necessary to address a grave emergency and enhance public safety. flag The state maintains the deployment, part of the Memphis Safe Task Force, was lawful and essential amid rising crime and civil unrest. flag A chancery court previously ruled the deployment unlawful, citing lack of a formal emergency declaration or local request, but the injunction halting the Guard’s presence remains on hold during the appeal. flag The case, now before the Tennessee Court of Appeals, could set a precedent for state use of military forces in urban areas during crises.
