Trump Administration Crackdown Leads to Over 400 Arrests, Significant Crime Drop in DC
Remember when you could walk downtown without looking over your shoulder? When parents didn’t worry about their kids taking the subway? We all watched our cities fall apart while politicians promised “reform” that only made things worse. The nation’s capital became just another dangerous city where criminals ran the show.
But here’s what happens when someone actually decides to fix the problem instead of talking about it. No committees. No studies. Just action.
The transformation is jaw-dropping. US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro just announced over 400 arrests in the nation’s capital. That’s not a typo. More than 400 criminals off the streets in just 11 days since the Trump administration said “enough.” This past weekend alone? 127 arrests. Let that sink in for a moment.
“We’re at more than 400 arrests, over the weekend, 127. This past weekend, with our federal partners in this cooperative law enforcement effort, we seized 21 illegal guns. We’ve made arrests on warrants for homicide, sexual predators, drug trafficking, illegals. If you want to be in DC and you’re a criminal, you’re not welcome,” Pirro said.
The numbers tell the whole story. Sunday night saw 22 teams deployed across DC. Nearly 2,000 officers working together like never before. This isn’t rocket science, people. It’s what happens when you let cops be cops.
The DC Police Union just released the data. Since federal control kicked in, robbery dropped 46 percent. But here’s the real shocker – carjackings fell by 83 percent. Eighty-three percent! In less than two weeks!
Violent crime overall? Down 22 percent. Car thefts? Down 21 percent. These aren’t projections or campaign promises. This is what actually happened when law enforcement got the green light to do their jobs.
The union made it crystal clear. Federal help gives them a boost, but they need to trash that so-called Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Act to make it stick. You know, the one that tied their hands in the first place.
Now here’s the part we’re not supposed to talk about, right? A White House official told the Daily Caller something interesting. Of those 400-plus arrests, over 160 were illegal immigrants. Not just people who overstayed visas either. We’re talking known gang members. People charged with assault, burglary, and drug dealing.
Oh, and they grabbed 59 illegal guns too. Funny how enforcing immigration laws also gets weapons off the streets. But I’m sure that’s just a coincidence, right?
