D.C. Reporting Stunning Drops in Violent Crime Rates Since Trump Federalized D.C.’s Law Enforcement. Robbery down 46%, Carjackings down 83%, Violent Crime down 22%.

Who would have thought it? Adding more police to the streets, reducing restrictions on policing, and targeting illegal aliens do cut crime. The D.C. police union reports that crime fell sharply during the 14 days after President Trump announced the federalization of law enforcement in D.C., compared to the 14 days before.
