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.

I'm really hoping at some point a patriot leaks the payroll list with all their names.

These traitorous fascists do not deserve to live freely in our society. And something like that happening would significantly reduce the number of people willing to work for this traitorous administration.

They would just call that person a traitor and a terrorist and the courts would punish them accordingly.

I mean, yes, that's true, but look at other famous whistleblowers. Edward snowden still lives in exile in russia over a decade later. How long did assange have to take shelter in an embassy? They felt strongly enough to take their actions, knowing that they might be targeted by one of the most powerful and ruthless governments on the planet.

Maybe there will be someone who is willing to be dragged through the mud and made an example of by our legal system.
