President Donald Trump has been dispatching National Guard troops strategically to various cities with significant crime problems in recent weeks.
And the results in Memphis, Tennessee, have been startling.
Authorities there have made more than 1,000 arrests, taking 100 gang members off the streets and have found dozens and dozens of missing children.
"From arresting more than 100 gang members to locating more than 70 missing children, our brave federal agents and local authorities are doing incredible work to protect the good people of Memphis," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"Tolerating crime is a choice: under President Trump, we refuse to accept the victimization of innocent American citizens and will continue making our cities safe again."
White House statistics revealed there have been 1,309 total arrests since last month, when the help was delivered.
That includes nine cases involving homicide, 52 for sex offenses, 527 for warrants and 132 for firearm offenses.
Before, the city routinely ranked as among the nation's most dangerous, reporting more than 40 homicides per 100,000 people just last year.
Trump's Memphis Safe Task Force was launched Sept. 15, authorizing National Guard help.
Gov. Bill Lee, supporting the effort, said the new campaign will be "forever."
Fox reported that an official "provided Fox News Digital with a snapshot of arrests on the night of Oct. 21, including one man who was arrested on a warrant for aggravated rape of a child; the arrest of a known Grape Street Crip gang member on a warrant for kidnapping, aggravated assault, theft, domestic assault and parole violation; and the arrest of a known Bloods gang member on a warrant for harassment."
Explained, Gadyaces S. Serralta, of the U.S. Marshals Service, in a statement to Fox, "Our priorities in Memphis are removing violent criminals, eliminating drug trafficking, and executing warrants for criminals within the communities."
Democrats have objected to enforcing the law.
Charged Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen, "We are not a training ground or target practice."
