Tennessee Judge Files Injunction to Strip National Guard from Memphis Safe Task Force
Update: 2025-11-18
Description
Tennessee Chancery Court Judge Patricia Head Moskal on Monday ordered a temporary injunction to reverse Governor Bill Lee's decision to deploy the National Guard as part of the Memphis Safe Task Force, writing that the far-left legal groups behind the lawsuit are likely to succeed at proving their claims that the deployment overstepped Tennessee state law.
Determining her the plaintiffs were likely to obtain a favorable ruling in response to their argument that Lee exceeded his authority as governor under Tennessee Code 58-1-106(a), Moskal wrote, "The ongoing problem of violent criminal activity, however serious, does not constitute the type of ‘grave emergency’ or ‘disaster,'" specified in the law.
