All right, let's dig into some news and notes here before we get cranked up inside the show.

Faith leaders got together this weekend here in the city to demand an end to the Memphis Safe Task Force.

By the way, by the end of this month, they will have celebrated one year in our city.

So I will leave it to you to determine whether it's been a good thing or a bad thing or anything in between.

The faith leaders had a three-day conference, and they pointed to the task force arrest and the enforcement data as they argued that operations are only now providing fear and harming citizens rather than what they were meant to do, which is create a safe space.

Twenty thousand four hundred total arrests have been made to this point by the task force.

But only 37 percent of those arrested were for violent crimes.

Now you figure that one out.

The operation has concluded rather.

I'm sorry.

Conducted one hundred and eighty seven arrests.

838 traffic stops and has given just short of that in traffic citations.

And also recently there was a nightclub raid that was held on August 30th.

where 121 people, immigrant population, were detained, but only five of those individuals had prior criminal history.

Now, we will delve into that a little bit later on.

I have some folks that will be joining me to talk about the immigration situation in our city and answer some questions about it and let us kind of know where things stand in regards to it.

Let me see here.

What is it? Oh, yeah.

This data center situation with XAR, many of you have heard about it.

The city council debated it last week and tried to put a moratorium on it.

They have held that until their next council meeting.

in reference to what they may or may not do about it.

Meanwhile, Mayor Paul Young is catching a lot of backlash in and around this for this whole deal.

People are very untrusting, and they are not convinced at all that this is a very good thing.

So this conversation is going to center around that for a long period of time, I think, until there's some resolution one way or another.
