After Killing Trump Program to Crack Down on Crime, Biden DOJ Celebrates Fewest Arrests in 20 Years

The Department of Justice under President Joe Biden released new data on Thursday, and it wasn't good. Yet the DOJ is seemingly bragging that the "number of federal arrests reached the lowest point in two decades" in Fiscal Year 2021 as if that's an achievement to be proud of.

The numbers come via the Federal Justice Statistics report, showing that "arrests by federal law enforcement agencies declined 35% from fiscal year (FY) 2020 to FY 2021, reaching the lowest level over the past two decades."

*IMAGE*

The report cited COVID-triggered pandemic restrictions as a reason why "federal arrests declined 81% and cases charged in federal court declined 77%" between March and April in 2020, with an additional decline of 25% in arrests and 20% in cases charged, from October 2020 to February 2021.

What's more, the latest statistics report noted, in its apparent hyping-up of lawlessness, that in the 10 fiscal years from 2011 to 2021, "the number of persons under federal correctional control declined 15%, from 410,887 to 350,543." As readers may recall, there was a push by the left to use COVID to empty prisons and return more criminals to the streets before their sentences were served in-full.

But it's not like there was less crime during the same period or a lack of success in federal prosecution of cases. According to the DOJ's report, "about 9 in 10" of defendants who were charged in federal district courts were convicted. Nearly three-quarters of those convicted were sentenced to prison for a median punishment of 37 months behind bars.

I'm starting to see a pattern here:

Voter fraud doesn't exist if you don't see it.

Crime doesn't exist if you don't count it.

Charging fewer people with crimes doesn’t mean that crime has decreased. Idiot!

Yep.

If it is not on paper, it did not happen. Since there were no ads in the newspaper or on the radio from a candidate stating,”I committed voter fraud” the Judas Goats say it never happened.

Seems to me we could cut 35% from the budget of the DOJ.

Why should the police arrest anyone when the criminal is back out on the street before his victims are out of the hospital?

Seems the DOJ’s objective is to make the cities safe for criminals to do what they want and for citizens to cower in their homes.

There is no border crisis.

There is no crime wave.

Declare victory and celebrate with the child groomers.

This Administration is ideologically blinded and totally incompetent.
