The image is a still from a video taken by Hunter Demster who was told he would have to move 25 feet away or face misdemeanor charges due to a TN law that went into effect in July.

The Tennessee law is similar to those passed in Indiana and Louisiana, which two federal courts have ruled unconstitutional due to the laws’ vague nature in allowing police broad discretion to create buffer zones.

National Guard members were seen patrolling a popular commercial area after arriving in Memphis on Friday and there have been reports of an increase in immigration raids and stop-and-frisk policing.

On Monday October 13, 2025, the DOJ released the following numbers and reasons for arrests of over 800 individuals (including 17 juveniles) in Memphis:

• Warrant pickups - 297

• Administrative (Immigration) - 161

•Firearms Arrests - 94

•Narcotics - 79

•Homicide - 6

•Probation/Parole - 2

•Sex Offenses - 34

130 unexplained “other” charges

62 “known gang members” were also reportedly identified in the operation.

The Memphis task force is composed of state, federal, and local agencies. The majority of arrests have occured following traffic stops of Memphis residents.

    That’s a lot of words for still acting a dick. Really serves to double down. Could have chosen to not be a dick, but pressed on heavy anyway. You didn’t include any source at first when I asked. So my ask was fair. I don’t need to waste time fact checking every sensationalist thing I read on the internet. If you make a big claim, then back it up.
    You do you man.

      You requested sources, I gave them to you, and altered my post to included the best one.

      You acknowledged that you were being a dick when you first said you didn’t want to be a dick, then went on to continue being a dick, even after you got your sources. Now you seem to be on a mission to prove that I’m a dick.

      I’m not interested, and I doubt anyone else is either. You got your sources, I wasn’t lying, MAGA is building a giant concentration camp in a hostile foreign nation(Cuba), far from the prying eyes of the media, courts, lawyers, etc. That’s what I wanted to discuss, not which one of us is a bigger dick.

      You’ve already proven which one.
