The homicide rate has dropped in America’s major cities by 17 percent in the first six months of President Donald Trump’s second term compared to the first half of 2024, coinciding with the administration’s efforts to deport illegal aliens.
The Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ) released a new report this month detailing homicide data gathered from 30 prominent U.S. cities, including Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Memphis, New York City, and Philadelphia. The data revealed that there “were 10% fewer reported aggravated assaults, 21% fewer gun assaults, 10% fewer sexual assaults, and 3% more domestic violence incidents” across these cities during the first six months of this year compared to last year.
The CCJ’s report further showed that violent crimes have decreased to the point that they are now as low as they were before the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. There were reportedly “14% fewer homicides in the study cities in the first half of 2025 than in the first half of 2019.”
The Daily Signal reported that this decrease in crime is directly linked to the Trump administration’s efforts to deport illegal aliens.
“Every single day we are arresting gang members, murderers, pedophiles, and violent predators,” Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement provided to the Signal. “70% of [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] arrests are of illegal aliens who have been convicted or charged with a crime. These arrests and deportations of criminal illegal aliens are having real impact on public safety.”
In total, the Trump administration has deported more than 253,000 illegal aliens this year. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested approximately 30,000 illegal aliens in June, which is the most arrests on record since the data has been publicly available. White House border czar Tom Homan praised the administration’s success battling illegal immigration in a post on X.
“Total Border Patrol encounters for the entire month of June 2025 was 6,070,” Homan said. “That is less than a single day under Biden. As a matter of fact, the total number of encounters is less than half of a single day under Biden on many days. Also, none of the 6,070 were released into the U.S. ZERO. President Trump has created the most secure border in the history of the nation and the data proves it. We have never seen numbers this low.”
Trump has made securing the southern border, deporting illegal aliens, and reducing crime core policy pillars of his second term. On January 20, he signed an executive order to protect the border and deport as many illegal aliens as possible. In an additional executive order on July 24, Trump ordered the federal government to restore safety to America’s cities and address the homelessness crisis. In signing the One Big Beautiful Bill, Trump also secured a $50,000 signing bonus, student loan payments, and additional pay for ICE agents.

I know I’m “splitting hairs” here, but the term “czar” came into fashion during Obama’s term. Which to me was indicative of his Communist leaning intent. Why is this term still being used? How about using “head of,” or “chief of?”
I’m over tired of continuing Obama’s desires to turn the USA into a Communist or Socialist country.
LAW and ORDER has returned to America thanks to president Trump and the ICE agents under Tom Homan’s leadership. Thank you ladies and gentleman at ICE for your service. You are working in a war zone created by the democrats and their billionaire sponsors. Don’t let the communists get you down.
Trump inherited a sty of gigantic proportions, fat piggies wallowed in it and loved it, now there is a major clean up and pigs a squealing and running in panic trying to eliminate him, to save their slop.
Oh my, the CRIME-LOVING, ILLEGALS-SUPPORTING Demorats aren’t going to like hearing this good news.
It will be interesting to see how the Dems and their mouthpiece, the CORRUPT LYING FAKE NEWS media, spins this. Odds are they will first deny the facts. Then say it’s racial. Then they’ll blame Trump for breaking up families. And then blah blah blah……
We have to deport more illegals, judges have to be tough with sentencing, and police must be able to be more flexible and use nightsticks on rioter’s skulls like they did when I was a kid when riots happen in the streets. with this crime will go down even more.
What is not noted here but I have seen references to it…. many are “Self Deporting” because they know they are illegal and they know ICE knows all about them. Let’s hope more of them take this.
Sadly ☹️ the Democrats will be looking for a way to put a twist on this information, because they don’t believe in Free Speech in America. Democrats are looking to create new laws that only allows for illegals to get away with Murder
ABSOLUTELY blown away at ALL of President Trump’s accomplishments in 6 months !!!! He has figured he better move at light speed and HE IS MOVING AT LIGHT SPEED TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN !!! LORD, PLEASE PROTECT OUR GREAT PRESIDENT, HIS HEALTH, HIS FAMILIES, HIS ADMINISTRATION, STAFF, AND EVERY LOCATION HE IS PRESENT…IN JESUS’S NAME..AMEN
AG Bondi ain’t gonna allow the leftist judges around the country to continue with their revolving door policies.
As we all know, in any given area, it is a proportionally small number of people committing a large number of serious crimes. And in the last several years, illegal alien criminals have flocked to the USA to pillage and rape Americans, at Biden’s invitation. Doesn’t surprise me one bit. I bet you won’t hear or see this story on mainstream news though.
and thats why we voted TRUMP
Victory Hooray
That’s good news, but Philadelphia has turned into a scary place. Homeless people sleep in the PATCO high speed line train cars and while you wait for the train they bother you. And it smells like a wet diaper with pee everywhere. Philadelphia used to be my favorite city. Very SAD!!
I am really really concerned about the OBBBP’s Section 453 granting immunity for chemical company’s and manufacturing of them.Most of the manufacturers are in China. The people injuried by these chemicals cannot be compensated for their onjuries and it puts the whole nation’s food supply at risk and makes even organi dangerous with them also.
Everybody knows the majority of the wealthy are in the Democrats corner. Everybody! You can’t even come up with a plausible lie!
I get it now, you Democrats use mirrors from Funhouses that distort the truth so you can stand to look at yourself in them. I have to apologize, I just assumed The Left cast no reflections like the rest of the blood sucking Vampires!
It seems like the random shootings & killings has gotten worse the last few months & is being done by American Citizens. Also the two people that wanted to shoot Trump were white American citizens. ICE is doing fair, but the above cases should point to the FBI taking a hard look & monitoring the radical American citizens. Trump thinks that 21 million illegals crossed border during Biden term & what is a rough estimate of what percent of these people have been deported by ICE or self deported?
Ok……..great. Now, whether your name is prominently mentioned in them or not, release the Epstein Files. No more throwing hissy fits over “weak, stupid MAGA supporters” as you blurted out in a hissy fit. Release them and maybe give Bongino and Patel their testicles back while you are at it. As for Barbi Bondi………..dump the cow.
Get off you sizeable backside Mr. President and do what you swore you would do and quit supporting your financial supporters that apparently think they own you. Do they own you Mr. President?
And before you chastise President Putin for killing people in warfare, maybe you should stop backing Israel in their mass slaughter of women and children and no, starving them to death isn’t at all cool either Mr. President.
JD Vance put out statement on Cincinatti beating this week & said these thugs should be sent to prison. What is being done about all of the random crimes that are not homicide? Does Vance & Trump still believe that the Jan 6 protesters were peaceful & that the pardon of +1500 people sets a good example for all American citizens or does it promote this type of unrest?
