   the list of cities federal forces could target with an increased law   
   enforcement presence, during an Aug. 21 interview with local radio host   
   Todd Starnes.   
      
   City police say overall crime has decreased by 22 percent compared to last   
   year.

   Mayor Mike Duggan left the Democratic Party to run for governor as an   
   independent, aiming to replace term-limited Democratic Michigan Gov.   
   Gretchen Whitmer.   
      
   Duggan said Trump deserved some credit for the decline in crime in the   
   city.   
      
   The federal government has been a huge partner in this. The president   
   appointed Jerome Gorgon, the U. S. attorney, he said on a CNN podcast.

   tangoed with the president over his comments about the Charm Citys high

   Scott accused Trump of targeting Black-led cities for criticism, while   
   Moore invited Trump on a walk around communities to see the reality of life   
   in the city.   
      
   Instead of accepting the offer, Trump told Moore to focus on driving down   
   the crime rate, indicating he wouldnt join him for a walk before that.   
      
   As of July 1, the city had recorded 68 homicides this year. Police said   
   that reflected a 22 percent year-over-year decrease in homicides and a 19   
   percent decrease in nonfatal shootings.
