A new report by the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ) found that homicides are significantly down in major cities across the country compared to last year, and the Trump administration is claiming its mass deportation program is part of the reason.
"HOMICIDES DOWN 17% across 30 U.S. cities under President [Donald] Trump and [Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem]," the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posted on X Monday. "The rapid arrests and deportations of criminal illegal aliens are having real impact on public safety."
