Funny how the argument changed. Crime is plummeting. Now we're debating whether Trump deserves any credit for it. I'll take that argument.

@CBSNews Hmmmmm…….could it be that the criminals were deported???

Sue Kee1 month ago

The Deportation Data Project shows ICE has already bagged over 11,000 illegals across NJ since Trump's 2nd term began and Essex County is definitely one of their favorite places. 1000s of criminal illegals were picked up directly in Newark. THAT'S WHY CRIME IS DOWN.

You only verify to people that you are FAKE NEWS when you downplay our President’s achievements. Every American already knows getting crime down and making America safe again has been a hallmark policy of the President. Thanks for verifying another thing our President says: you are fake News, even when you report the low crime, you refuse to credit the person and administration behind it. Everyone can see it now.

Crime data* was trending down since 2022 because crimes were not being reported to the FBI database Real-world crime itself was rampant Did you forget you reported on this? Because you should've pushed back when that clown pointed out the 2022 decline - it was fake news You're fake news

This is good news. A major drop in violent crime means safer communities and more lives protected. Newark’s 64% decline in homicides is especially encouraging. Let’s keep supporting the policies that make our streets safer. 🇺🇸

President Trump says he hopes other U.S. cities are watching his deployment of the National Guard to Washington, D.C., and “maybe they’ll self-clean up, and maybe they’ll self-do this and get rid of the cashless bail thing and all of the things that caused the problem.” Violent crime in D.C. has been declining for the last year and a half after spiking in 2023, according to local police data. So far this year, robberies have dropped by 28% and overall violent crime is down 26%, as of August 11. Last year, violent crime in the capital city hit its lowest level in more than 30 years, the Justice Department said.

This isn’t just a Memphis story. 189 missing kids returned. Crime down 40%+ in a city that used to top the nation’s violence charts. Zoom out: • FBI: biggest 1-year drop in violent crime since national estimates began in 1936 • Murder rate tied for the lowest since the mid-1950s • H1 2026: homicides still falling in most major cities Memphis cooperated across local, state, and federal lines. The results compounded. Senator Hagerty’s contrast is the real test: cities that partner get compounding safety. Cities that don’t stay stuck. Copy the model. Don’t argue with the trend.
