“Violent crime dropped sharply across America’s biggest cities in 2025,” Axios reports — yet another resounding validation of President Donald J. Trump’s unwavering commitment to restoring law and order. After years of chaos, skyrocketing crime, and soft-on-crime policies under Biden plunged the nation’s biggest cities into anarchy and disorder, President Trump took office on a promise to restore public safety — and he has delivered in historic fashion.
The new data confirms steep declines across every major violent crime category in 2025 compared to the prior year: overall murders down 19%, robberies down 20%, and aggravated assaults down nearly 10%.
These gains build on earlier reports showing America’s cities are now safer than they’ve been in over a century under President Trump’s leadership. The murder rate in the nation’s biggest cities has fallen to its lowest level in at least 125 years — marking the largest single-year drop in recorded history. Beyond murders, the nation also saw dramatic reductions in rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults, shooting deaths (fewest since 2015), on-duty law enforcement officer deaths (80-year low), traffic fatalities, and overdose deaths.
This is the direct result of President Trump’s aggressive, no-nonsense approach to public safety. By surging federal resources to Democrat-run cities that had devolved into war zones, removing savage criminal illegals from our streets, supporting police and prosecutors, and rejecting the Radical Left’s weakness, President Trump’s decisive actions have turned the tide, saved countless lives, and restored peace to communities long abandoned by Democrat politicians who prioritized criminals over citizens.
Under President Trump, America is safer, stronger, and winning again — and the era of Democrat-inspired lawlessness is over.
Oddly enough, the media does not find this newsworthy.
It's mystery how 'the press' keeps missing these types of stories. /s
Or fewer reporting of crimes.
They're not right in the head.
I see: Crime is falling.
I see: Illegals are being deported or leaving.
Yes. I am convinced. No relation. No relation at all.
If lefties find out about these stats, they will be protesting, as sure as the sun rises.
“Give us back our violent crime rates!!!!”
I guess when you deport the alien criminals who do not fear the US justice system, it helps.
Trump’s fault.
I see: Illegals are being deported or leaving.

Been coming here ever since Columbus sailed in
1492. Now a lot of changes have occurred over
that time but this one needs to be addressed with
the intent to put a stop to it.
Citizenship has rules and people coming in for time
periods for work, education, other things needs to
be under some type of rules.
Funny police department ad.
For Valentine’s Day.
This Town is not very far from me.

or get the hell out.
They’re run by democrats so give them credit.
That’s quite a drop in homicide numbers.
“2024 Homicide Statistics
Total Homicides: The Orlando Police Department (OPD) and official city recaps cited 23 homicides for the full year of 2024. Some independent analyses of the data, such as one by the Orlando Sentinel, reported the figure as 24.”
“Orlando homicides fell to lowest level in more than 50 years, police say”
“ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orlando Police Department announced Friday that the city recorded 10 homicides in 2025 — the lowest number since OPD began tracking homicide data in 1971.
The city also saw the biggest drop in homicides in any major city in the country, according to a new report by a national police chiefs association.”
The left needs to be bludgeoned repeatedly with these statistics.
“Oddly enough, the media does not find this newsworthy.”
It will become newsworthy when they figure out that they can spin it as solely due to the efforts of socialist mayors in those cities.
Then again, Chicago doesn't report its crime statistics to the FBI, so there's that.
The massive drop in crime across our country has been a result of the actions of President Trump and his Administration.
Not buying it based on what I see.
Unconservative Trump’s closed border is working.
