Senator Marsha Blackburn, representing Tennessee in the U.S. Senate, posted a series of statements on January 26, 2026, highlighting her views on federal law enforcement cooperation, public safety efforts during severe weather, and progress in Memphis.
In a post made at 19:36 UTC, Blackburn wrote: “President @realDonaldTrump has demonstrated that he is committed to working with every local official who will support federal law enforcement and get violent criminal illegals out of our communities. This is exactly why the American people sent him back to the White House https://t.co/LdpHpSSl2r”.
Later that evening at 20:31 UTC, she expressed gratitude toward state agencies responding to hazardous weather conditions: “Thank you to @TNMilitaryDept, @TennesseeEMA, and everyone working around the clock to keep Tennesseans safe during this severe weather. Grateful for their dedication and service as they brave dangerous conditions and cold temperatures to protect our communities. https://t.co/VfGdh3lUFX”.
At 22:16 UTC on the same day, Blackburn commented on improvements in Memphis attributed to collaboration between local officials and federal law enforcement: “Memphis is seeing real progress and phenomenal results thanks to cooperative leadership from local officials.
While Democrats fuel fires and instigate chaos, Tennesseans are seeing safer communities thanks to the help of federal law enforcement.
