More winning: Trump’s Immigration Enforcement Really Is Slashing Violent Crime
2026-07-17
After discussing why crime statistics during the Biden-Harris Politburo interregnum were not trustworthy, the writer continues to the present:
[Federalist] Reducing crime is not complicated. Governments must make crime riskier by increasing arrests and convictions, imposing longer prison sentences, and allowing law-abiding citizens to defend themselves. The news on each of those fronts has been encouraging.

FBI arrests surged in 2025, rising 184 percent over 2024 levels. Total FBI arrests — a broader category that includes many joint operations with state and local agencies — increased by 197 percent.

Voters also replaced several George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true. Maybe both....
-backed prosecutors in jurisdictions such as Los Angeles and the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
with district attorneys who prosecute criminals more aggressively and seek tougher sentences. Across the country, President Trump’s U.S. attorneys have also pursued criminals far more aggressively than their predecessors. In Washington, D.C., for example, the Biden administration’s U.S. Attorney declined to prosecute 67 percent of those arrested. Under U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, that figure has fallen to just 4 percent.

Nor is it a coincidence that the record influx of illegal immigrants colonists during the Biden administration coincided with a sharp increase in violent mostly peaceful crime. It is equally unsurprising that crime has fallen as deportations have increased. Deportation records show that 70 percent of illegal immigrants colonists deported during the Trump administration had either criminal convictions or pending criminal charges in the United States. Even those who avoid arrest understand that any contact with law enforcement could lead to deportation, giving them a strong incentive to stay off the police’s radar and avoid committing additional crimes.

Finally, the number of adults carrying concealed handguns has risen sharply, with the latest survey data showing a 5-percentage-point increase in concealed carry over the past year and a half.

[UnleashProsperity] The latest enrollment numbers from HHS are a good new/bad news story. The good news is Obamacare fraud is down sharply from 2025’s record 5.6 million people. The bad news is there are still an estimated 2.6 million improper enrollees in 2026.
