   A newly released report shows the U.S. murder rate is on track to drop   
   to its lowest level in the 125 years such records have been kept.   
      
   125 years.   
      
   And nine of 13 offenses tracked in the Council on Criminal Justice’s   
   (CCJ) Year-End 2025 Update declined by double digits from 2024.   
      
   Might those lower numbers have something to do with the work of federal   
   immigration law enforcement, so reviled by the left, taking thousands of   
   criminal illegal aliens off the streets? Is Don Lemon a narcissist?   
      
   The answer to both questions, of course, is yes.   
      
   Corporate media outlets like Axios downplayed the significant declines,   
   asserting “violent crime was already falling to a two-decade low in   
   Biden’s final year, calling into question whether Trump’s policies have   
   made an impact.” Axios leaned on a statement from CCJ’s CEO Adam Gelb,   
   who said, “It’s extremely difficult to disentangle and pinpoint what’s   
   actually driving the drop.”   
      
   But it’s not that difficult. Removing convicted murderers, rapists, and   
   thieves from communities is a pretty proven way to stop repeat   
   offenders, and, hence, repeat offenses. It is, however, as easy for a   
   camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for corporate media to   
   give President Donald Trump credit for anything, including his   
   administration’s success in taking on crime. Those efforts include   
   enlisting the National Guard to help make safer some of America’s most   
   violent cities.   
      
   “After years of soft-on-crime policies that fueled violence, President   
   Trump is proving that law and order works,” Republican National   
   Committee National Press Secretary Kiersten Pels said in a statement to   
   The Federalist.   
      
   ‘Enabling Chaos’   
   While near-record murder rates in the COVID lockdown years have fallen,   
   for a number of reasons, Trump 2.0 has had a lot of cleanup to do from   
   the mess the president’s Democrat predecessor left.   
      
   In September 2024, Department of Homeland Security officials reported to   
   Congress that they had tracked some 435,000 illegal aliens with criminal   
   convictions not in custody. About 29,000 of those criminal illegal   
   immigrants had been convicted of murder and/or sexual assault.   
      
   As The Federalist reported last week:   
      
   Internal DHS data, according to CBS News, shows about half of the   
   detainees awaiting deportation have been charged or convicted of other   
   crimes beyond breaking the nation’s immigration laws.   
      
   But DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the broadcast network   
   content provider that 70 percent of illegal immigrants arrested by ICE   
   during President Trump’s first year in office have criminal records or   
   are facing charges, including those with connections to terrorism.
