White House touts crime drop, border clampdown
This news article from The Siasat Daily reports on the White House's announcement of a significant drop in crime rates and enhanced border security under President Donald Trump's administration. The White House cites a study by the Council on Criminal Justice, which shows the murder rate in America's largest cities dropped to its lowest level since at least 1900, attributing this to border enforcement, increased arrests, and deportations. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt highlighted the FBI's efforts, including doubling violent crime arrests, disrupting 1,800 gangs, and arresting 1,700 child predators. Local data from Washington and Memphis also show significant reductions in homicides and other crimes. Leavitt emphasized the importance of deporting criminal migrants for public safety and noted that no illegal aliens were released into the country over the past nine months.
